Multilingual project using JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA or other tools - intellij-idea

Trying to start multilingual project where Java, C & C++ will be used mixed.
With NetBeans I could have all the necessary plugins at ones. Trying to figure out how and which JetBrains tools I could use.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
P.S. I am having a license for the full stack of JetBrains tools.

You'll be using Jetbrains IntelliJ and CLion side by side since they are more specialize in that languages.
Also you can use IntelliJ alone and use some plugins todo works on other language.
As of now, I'm doing both frontend(Vuejs) and backend(Django) on a daily basis, and I use both Webstorm and PyCharm in this type of development.

Creating new dart project in Intellij IDEA 13.1.5 community edition

I wanted to play a little bit with the dart language and since recently I'm trying to switch from eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA I wanted to use that IDE. Unfortunately I can't figure out how I can create new dart project.
I've installed the dart plugin and installation looks fine - I have the plugin directory on my hard drive, dart's formatting options in settings etc. But I don't have any dart related option in the new project dialog (only java, maven, gradle, empty project etc.).
All resources I found told about using the new project dialog, or using WebStorm (like https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/Getting+started+with+Dart ).
Is it possible at all? Am I missing something?
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.5 community edition.
EDIT:
Ticket created: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-14060
I recommend using Stagehand (http://stagehand.pub/). It's a great new command-line tool that creates well-formed Dart project folders, complete with pubspec.yaml and even build.dart for Polymer projects. The tool can create console apps, web apps, Polymer apps, and AngularDart apps.
It looks that there is a bug in community edition of 13.1.x and it won't be fixed (but it's already fixed in community edition version 14 and it works in any version of ultimate edition) - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-14060

Eclipse Integrated development environment

I have an IDE for java (and android), also recently have downloaded the ide for php development.
Is it possible to use both (not at the same time) ide's from the same application?
Now i have eclipse juno for java and eclipse luna for php...
I managed to download c++ ide into the eclipse version that i used for java.
Basically look for p2 software repository of the IDE of your choice and paste the link into: work with, under install new software, under help.
Now i have 2 different IDE's working under same application (should be possible to have more)
Also a comment to the downvoter: It is not wise to downvote without explaining the reason of your action....
Some food for thought...

Difference between WebStorm and PHPStorm

I'm choosing an IDE for web development and I would like to know what the differences between WebStorm and PHPStorm are.
I couldn't find any major points on JetBrains' website and even Google didn't help that much.
All I know now is that PHPStorm doesn't support JS like WebStorm, but is able to due to plugins. Is this the only difference?

You should train your search-fu twice as harder.
FROM: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/
NOTE: PhpStorm includes all the functionality of WebStorm (HTML/CSS Editor, JavaScript Editor) and adds full-fledged support for PHP and Databases/SQL.
Their forum also has quite few answers for such question.
Basically: PhpStorm = WebStorm + PHP + Database support
WebStorm comes with certain (mainly) JavaScript oriented plugins bundled by default while they need to be installed manually in PhpStorm (if necessary).
At the same time: plugins that require PHP support would not be able to install in WebStorm (for obvious reasons).
P.S.
Since WebStorm has different release cycle than PhpStorm, it can have new JS/CSS/HTML oriented features faster than PhpStorm (it's all about platform builds used).
For example: latest stable PhpStorm is v7.1.4 while WebStorm is already on v8.x. But, PhpStorm v8 will be released in approximately 1 month (accordingly to their road map), which means that stable version of PhpStorm will include some of the features that will only be available in WebStorm v9 (quite few months from now, lets say 2-3-5) -- if using/comparing stable versions ONLY.
UPDATE (2016-12-13):
Since 2016.1 version PhpStorm and WebStorm use the same version/build numbers .. so there is no longer difference between the same versions: functionality present in WebStorm 2016.3 is the same as in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if the same plugins are installed, of course).
Everything that I know atm. is that PHPStorm doesn't support JS part like Webstorm
That's not correct (your wording). Missing "extra" technology in PhpStorm (for example: node, angularjs) does not mean that basic JavaScript support has missing functionality. Any "extras" can be easily installed (or deactivated, if not required).
UPDATE (2016-12-13):
Here is the list of plugins that are bundled with WebStorm 2016.3 but require manual installation in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if you need them, of course):
Cucumber.js
Dart
EditorConfig
EJS
Handelbars/Mustache
Java Server Pages (JSP) Integration
Karma
LiveEdit
Meteor
PhoneGap/Cordova Plugin
Polymer & Web Components
Pug (ex-Jade)
Spy-js
Stylus support
Yeoman
Essentially, PHPStorm = WebStorm + PHP, SQL and more.
BUT (and this is a very important "but") because it is capable of parsing so much more, it quite often fails to parse Node.js dependencies, as they (probably) conflict with some other syntax it is capable of parsing.
The most notable example of that would be Mongoose model definition, where WebStorm easily recognizes mongoose.model method, whereas PHPStorm marks it as unresolved as soon as you connect Node.js plugin.
Surprisingly, it manages to resolve the method if you turn the plugin off, but leave the core modules connected, but then it cannot be used for debugging. And this happens to quite a few methods out there.
All this goes for PHPStorm 8.0.1, maybe in later releases this annoying bug would be fixed.
There is actually a comparison of the two in the official WebStorm FAQ. However, the version history of that page shows it was last updated December 13, so I'm not sure if it's maintained.
This is an extract from the FAQs for reference:
What is WebStorm & PhpStorm?
WebStorm & PhpStorm are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment)
built on top of JetBrains IntelliJ platform and narrowed for web
development.
Which IDE do I need?
PhpStorm is designed to cover all needs of PHP developer including
full JavaScript, CSS and HTML support. WebStorm is for hardcore
JavaScript developers. It includes features PHP developer normally
doesn’t need like Node.JS or JSUnit. However corresponding plugins can
be installed into PhpStorm for free.
How often new vesions (sic) are going to be released?
Preliminarily, WebStorm and PhpStorm major updates will be available
twice in a year. Minor (bugfix) updates are issued periodically as
required.

IntelliJ IDEA vs WebStorm features
IntelliJ IDEA remains JetBrains' flagship product and IntelliJ IDEA
provides full JavaScript support along with all other features of
WebStorm via bundled or downloadable plugins. The only thing missing
is the simplified project setup.
PhpStorm supports all the features of WebStorm but some are not bundled so you might need to install the corresponding plugin for some framework via Settings > Plugins > Install JetBrains Plugin.
Official comment - jetbrains.com
I use IntelliJ Idea, PHPStorm, and WebStorm. I thought WebStorm would be sufficient for PHP coding, but in reality it's great for editing but doesn't feel like it real-time-error-checks PHP as well as PHPStorm. This is just an observation, coming from a regular user of a JetBrains products.
If you're a student try taking advantage of the free license while attending school; it gives you a chance to explore different JetBrains IDE... Did I mention CLion? =]
In my own experience, even though theoretically many JetBrains products share the same functionalities, the new features that get introduced in some apps don't get immediately introduced in the others. In particular, IntelliJ IDEA has a new version once per year, while WebStorm and PHPStorm get 2 to 3 per year I think. Keep that in mind when choosing an IDE. :)

Eclipse plugin for play 2

I am a beginner with Play2 framework and Scala.
Is there any eclipse play 2 plugin available?
If yes, then please provide me the link for the same. I am used to Eclipse and have never used Scala before;hence in a confusion like how and where to start from. Looking at the Play2 Doc, sems like working in command prompt IDE which is very difficult (though I have tried yet)
Please let me know the eclipse plugin for Play2 or some other IDE helpful for this.
Regards,
There in no plugin as such for Eclipse.
Play! framework has nice set of tools for doing tasks such as following
creating new play project
running the project
deployment of the application
doing the continuous testing mode etc
Trust me, once you start using this, you gonna love it.
Beside you do not require any experience in Scala, as for Play framework you can use Java language, if you are comfortable with it (you can choose Java template while creating new Play project )
and also you can use IDE for syntax highlighting , code completion etc
I had a brief try of Play development using Eclipse and the Scala Plugin. I personally found it awkward and not terribly helpful. (The errors which the IDE reported were not always the same as the ones that the Play compiler reported, for example.)
I’ve had a lot more joy using the Intellij IDEA IDE, with its Scala plugin. As with Eclipse the current version of IDEA does not have specific support for Play Framework 2, but it does have specific support for Scala.
The next version of Intellij IDEA, v12, will have explicit support for Play Framework 2: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/index.html#Frameworks_Support (but only in the paid-for ‘Ultimate’ edition, not in the free ‘Community’ edition).

Lua Editor for Corona SDK (Eclipse Indigo Plugin)

Can anyone suggest a good editor to use with Lua scripting specifically for the Corona SDK or aid me with an error I'm having trying to install the eclipse plugin. I would like to use Eclipse Indigo (64bit) preferably but I've had problems with the Lua plugin. I've got the lua site added to Eclipses download sites, but when I try to install it says it "can't be installed in this enviroment because its filter is not applicable" Anyone have any insight into that error with this plugin? I've searched and found information about the error with other plugins but fixes and reasons behind it didn't seem to apply to my problem.
I was downloading the wrong lua editor for Eclipse. LuaEclipse was the problem so I used
http://www.eclipse.org/koneki/ldt/
and everything worked.
Notepad++ is really useful. Lightweight and has lots of options.
For working with Eclipse
http://flashapplications.de/?p=946
there are some Corona specific IDEs available
Corona Project Manager
Cider
Corona Complete
Other Editors
TextMate(Mac - has a Corona plugin)
BBEdit(Mac)
TextWrangler(Mac)
There are a LOT of Lua editors available

And finally a link which you may find useful
http://producerism.com/blog/how-to-develop-in-corona-sdk-on-windows/
THe Zeus editor has support for Lua. The latest version also adds Lua debugger support.
To add to Satheesh's list: ZeroBrane Studio Lua IDE includes support for Corona SDK and provides syntax-highlighting, auto-complete, and debugging support.
