I am setting up smartsheet SDK for Java, and running into problems trying to use it in IntelliJ IDEA. I am fairly unfamiliar with setting up decencies, modules, and such in IntelliJ, and am just looking for guidance on setting this up to work with Smartsheet SDK.
I'm currently using the Windows version with JDK13 (I also have JDk12). I've tried downloading the JAR file and pointing to that as a dependency, but it doesn't even understand the imports.
I would start with the Smartsheet Sample App for Java, which will already have the code in it for loading dependencies and libraries. https://github.com/smartsheet-samples/java-read-write-sheet
Problem
I'm trying to create a Play 2.3.1 framework, because the lack of info on how to get started with 2.4.3. So much has changed apparently that the tutorials on youtube is useless and I can't get it to work.
Question
How do I do this?
I have tried to go to https://www.playframework.com/download#older-versions but all versions yield the same link to https://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.6/typesafe-activator-1.3.6-minimal.zip
which installs the newest playframework 2.4.3.
Please say that someone knows how to do this?
Also, why should I bother using 2.4.3 > 2.3.1 if I'm only creating a simple mobile app w/database? Security reasons or just "easier"?
Same question for IntelliJ 14 > IntelliJ 13 ?
https://www.playframework.com/download#older-versions is the link you need.
When you're new to Play! it can be quite confusing so I think a bit of terminology is needed.
SBT - Scala build tool. This is a build tool that is baked into every Play! project but totally independent of Play! framework, ie. many Scala projects use this to manage their builds without ever using Play! It's just the Scala equivilient of a Maven, Gradle or Ant. Nothing special.
Activator - This is Play!'s commandline, like a build-tool++. It's commandline tool with a superset of the SBT commands clean compile etc etc, with Play! specific ones like 'new', 'run'. It actually just amounts to not much more than a script (.sh/.bat) which bootstraps SBT and some extra goodness for running play commands. In earlier versions like 1.x this command was named play. Version 2.x was a practically a re-write so you can ignore all related advice.
Play - the playframework itself is just a regular jar (and all its dependencies). It is declared in the project/plugins.sbt
So the reason all the download links point to activator-1.3.6 is because that is just the version of the commandline tool. This will default to latest: 2.4.x.
When you perform an activator new you get a choice of templates. If you REALLY REALLY want to use 2.3.x you could choose this template when prompted hello-play-2_3-scala.
But I don't suggest you do that because:
The documentation for 2.4.x is comprehensive and there are walkthrough guides, it won't take any longer than a youtube video.
There are bug fixes and new features in 2.4.x
2.4.x introduced dependency injection which means it will be harder to upgrade once you'ved developed everything in 2.3x.
Apart from dependency injection most stuff works the same in 2.4.x
Intellij:
Use 14. Play support is improving all the time. If you can use the Early Access Program and the latest version of the Scala plugin.
Don't run 'activator idea' - this is deprecated. File -> open project from Intellij should be enough.
I am using Grails 2.5.1 and trying to use Authentication Plugin 2.0.1.
However, I have an error due to ConfigurationHolder not being found (this happens INSIDE authentication 2.0.1).
It seems that authentication 2.0.1 does not work with Grails 2.5.1 - it is not compatible with how grails structure changed in 2.4.x version.
What good authentication plugin version could I use? Or... How could I fix it? Or... what good authentication plugin alternative could I use?
Firstly, that plugin is no longer under development. The source code is on github, but no one has touched it in years. See this.
Alternatives
I don't know of a drop-in replacement. The closest one I know of is Grails Spring Security.
Fixing it
With some keyboard grease you can upgrade the plugin. If the holder error is the one I'm thinking of, it's easy to fix. Here's a general guideline:
With the source code in hand, check which version of Grails the p!ugin was written in.
Upgrade the plugin to the next minor version. Avoid skipping around.
Using the upgrading from grails section of the Grails documentation make the necessary changes.
Test, then rinse and repeat.
Change the plugin version and do a plugin local install.
Change the version of the plugin in your app so that it uses the new version.
Consider publishing your changes on github.
Is it possible to setup go language pluing for Intellij IDEA 14.0.3 version?
I tried to download the binary plugin (jar) from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/5047?pr=idea but the version 0.9.15.3 listed here is old and does not recognize GOROOT and GOPATH.
I tried to build the latest plugin using sources from https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin using Intellij but failed to setup the SDK.
Is there a latest binary version of the go lang plugin available?
Update to IDEA 14.1+ or use the IntelliJ Community.
Original answer:
You can use the free version of IntelliJ Community with the latest version of the plugin and everything should work fine. Also, Android Studio for example is compatible with the plugin as well.
Unfortunately the plugin has some internal dependencies which makes it hard to port back and maintain for multiple IDEA versions. Hope this helps
It might be not the exact answer your are looking for but their is a separate IDE for go developer . it has some unique features you must try GOLAND First month is free.
I also faced up this problem couple days ago. You can download nightly version of go plugin from this link.
You must install this plugin via browse your download folder not repository
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.
snip
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. :)
