Intellij Ultimate 2016.2.5 wsl2 path not shown

I have to use intellij 2016.2 ultimate based on license constraints.
I want to use it with wsl2 and I installed intellij on windows.
The problem I have, is that in the project explorer my wsl path is not shown.
Earlier, I used the latest community edition which works fine with this setup.
Is wsl2 supported with intellij 2016.2 or is there an additional setup I have to take in concern

Can I use the Remote Platform option in Netbeans from Windows 10?

I am trying to use my computer with windows 10 installed so that I can build and compile jar files but test them remotely on my raspberry pi4 down the hall. This method worked fine when I was using a linux (Ubuntu) laptop, but unfortunately...the laptop broke, and now I'm installing linux on another computer...and in the meantime, I would like to continue working. I have Apache Netbeans 12.3, java version 16, and here are the specifics of what is happening: I can go into manage platforms, I can set up a remote platform, and can test it...and the connection tests out successfully. However, when I go to File->ProjectProperties and select Categories->Run, in the drop-down box where you can usually select the platforms you have established....there are no options--it just offers Project Platform. Maybe it's a windows thing? A priviledge thing? I can't find the answer...thanks in advance.
This is the screen where the problem exists. The arrow points towards the drop down menu that won't drop down and acts like no other Platform has been defined.
By downgrading the JDK to JDK11, I was able to select newly existing Remote Platforms in Netbeans in the File->ProjectProperties window, under the Run category, as detailed in the picture above.

Are libraries built using the Linux subsystem in Windows 10 accessible to a Windows development environment?

I'm currently trying to connect MongoDB to a Windows QT C++ application and am following the tutorial here. While there Windows installation instructions are presented, to avoid having to install Visual Studio or other tools, I'm wondering if I can follow the package-manager or Linux instructions on the inbuilt Linux/ Ubuntu subsystem of Windows 10 and build the libraries in my Linux environment, later somehow accessing them from my Windows development environment.
I don't fully understand how compilation/ byte-code works in the Linux subsystem on Windows, so I haven't been able to piece together an answer for this myself based on my understanding of the various systems involved. Any explanation or assistance would be appreciated.
You can run a Windows executable from a WSL console window or a Linux executable from Windows command line / power shell. And capture the output, pipe between applications etc. But the application must run entirely on one platform; you cannot mix a Windows executable with Linux libraries or vice-versa.
I don't know how you will connect to MongoDB but, if it has a socket interface like MySql, you could create a bash script on WSL which runs your QT application to access the database, wherever it is.
But if you're using QT as a GUI you're going to struggle. People have been able to get a Linux desktop running on WSL by installing an X server on the Windows host but you might find that more trouble than it's worth.

IntelliJ IDETalk on Linux

I have used IDETalk on a Windows and it discovers other users in my Local network working under same project. Works magic.
However on a linux machine I am not seeing any users. there are other users in my network that are using linux and have the IDETalk enabled. Does this plugin work only on Windows? Shouldn't be thugh.
Also The tool buttons like add users do not work for me. Installed is IDEtalk 0.5.6.2 and I am on redhat 6

Possible to run a site on Windows/Mac/*nix with USB using XAMPP

it seems that it's possible to run a web server on a USB stick using XAMPP, but would this work on Windows, Mac and Linux? I want to run a PHP/MySQL demo site which can be used cross platform. Any advice appreciated!
XAMPP is a windows compiled application
Unless you use an emulator you might struggle to get it working on linux or mac
Consider a diffrent portable webserver for each OS
XAMPP is a cross platform (hence the 'X'), Apache MySQL PHP and Perl application. While the application runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, each installation is a different set of binary files for the given platform. While there is a Windows version that can run a from a relative path on a USB stick; no such version exists for Mac or Linux at this time. The installation location for the later operating systems must be on the system's hard drive at /Applications/XAMPP on Mac.
