Intellij Java Webstart Basics - intellij-idea

My question is "How do you get a Java Web Start project started in the IntelliJ IDEA IDE?"
First Attempt
IntelliJ's default JavaFX Project Template includes an artifact configuration that (when the native bundle is set to exe) seems to set you up to deploy your application using Java Webstart (or at least test it on your machine).
Once you Build Artifacts, it gives you a .jnlp file, as well as an HTML file containing a link to run the .jnlp file.
Yet! With even the most basic application, it's not getting off the ground.
In order to provide exact detail, I'll include the code for the HTML and .jnlp files as well as a video that shows what happens.

Swing on Tomcat
I was able to successfully launch a Swing application from the local Tomcat server I just installed using some help from a tutorial—confusingly, using the similar steps of jarring, signing, and putting on webserver with a JavaFX application results in a stupid blocked window even though the file is included in the Exception Site List.
This makes me wonder if it's a signing issue. (I signed the jar with a homemade keystore, but notably without certificate or timestamp—this caused no problems with Swing; could it be causing problems with JavaFX? If I need a more-legitimate certificate and timestamp, how do I get them?)
Surely I'm missing something. What other steps need to be taken to deploy a JavaFX application using Webstart? Is anyone willing to provide a SSCCE?

Error running Google App Engine Standard via IntelliJ - can't find appengine-web.xml

I'm trying to locally run/debug a Google App Engine Standard app written in Kotlin. Here's the basic stack:
IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
Google App Engine Standard
Gradle
Kotlin
I followed these directions: https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/deploy-local#running_your_application_locally
So far so good.
But when I go to run it (via IntelliJ Run menu), I get the following error:
NoSuchFileException during local run: Error occurred during local run. Please first confirm that there is a properly placed appengine-web.xml file. If missing, either use the Cloud Code shortcut action under: 'Tools > Cloud Code > Add App Engine Support > Google App Engine Standard' Or manually generate an appengine-web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of your module's web resource directory, (show balloon)
Error running '(my run config)': Encountered an error starting the App Engine local development server process.
AFAIK, the file is in the correct place (I even tried deleting it and having Google's plugin regenerate it for me - it put it in the same place/same name).
Any ideas how to fix this error? I've spent 2 days just debugging various tool issues with this stack, but can't get past this one.
UPDATE:
Here's the run configuration I'm using.
If you right-click on the project, then click on Open Module Settings.
Under Project Settings click on Artifacts.
Choose your war exploded file.
You should notice that on the Output Layout tab under Available Elements you will need to add your JPA descriptors by double-clicking that.
This resolved the issue for me with on this exact error.

Can't use background task in Windows Phone 8.1 (the ID_CAP_NETWORKING required, but it's included in the manifest)

I need to update my Windows Phone application tile by downloading and parsing JSON. So I'm using Microsoft HTTP Client Libraries.
And I've always got the exception Use of networking APIs requires the ID_CAP_NETWORKING capability to be defined in the application manifest when I'm trying to debug background task.
But my manifest included ID_CAP_NETWORKING as required (screenshot https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/10750111_821340111262044_6461333323674658178_o.jpg).
I don't know what to do. I tried rebuild or recreate the app, but this didn't help. Also I can't find any documentation or an answer on the internet.
Can you please write, what can I do to solve this problem?
This is demo project http://1drv.ms/1yjHm49 with reproduced problem (project's name is 'Meduza. Windows Phone').
I debug my application on Lumia 720 (if it can help).
I re-downloaded your project and now I get your error. So I thought, I must of done something before launching your project that fixed it.
It took me while, but I can get your project to work by doing this
Unzip project to directory
Open Project
Clean Project
Add Internet (Client and Server) in Package.appxmanifest file (make sure you save it before exiting)
Put the break points in your background task
And it works. So a combination of Clean Build + editing the Package.appxmanifest did the trick for me.

IBM Worklight 6.0 - Dojo library uses localhost after deploy

I have a Worklight 6.0 project that uses the new Dojo 1.9 libs, I created an external dojo project, like the documentation suggested, then, in the main project properties, under "Dojo toolkit", it references this dojo19 project.
The project works on the local server, then I did "Run As" | "Build for Remote Server...", and entered the correct domain:port and context path, clicked Build, the *.wlapp files were updated. (I've also updated the settings for publicWorkLightHostname / publicWorkLightPort / publicWorkLightProtocol in the "Environment Entries for Web Modules" in the installed war to match the remote server names/port/protocol.)
But, after deploying both war and -all.wlapp file, accessing the app I get JS errors when it tries to refer to the dojo19 library:
The page at
https://<myIP>:9443/<myproject>/apps/services/www/ /mobilewebapp/default/IODMobile.html
ran insecure content from http://localhost:64441/dojo19/<myproject>/IODMobile/mobilewebapp/dojo/nls/core-web-layer_en-us.js.
The dojo19 is the project name in my Worklight developer workspace that I referred to above.
Why is it trying localhost? Seems there's a missing step here in deploying the dojo library project into Worklight.
Where are you trying to preview the application when you get the error message?
See the changes in Dojo in Worklight 6.0
If launching the application in emulator/simulator/device, see Billy Rowe's answer in this question
Partial copy/paste:
Step 1: Verify your application works in the Mobile Browser Simulator
with Provide Library Resources checked. If the Console log is showing
resources being served from the server, then these have to be copied
to your application before deploying to AVD or a device
Step 2: After you think you have all Dojo/resources within your
project, uncheck Provide Library Resources and test it again in MBS.
If it fails in MBS, then something is missing in your application that
is in the library/server. You can check Provide Library Resources and
retest to see if it shows you what that is. Not all resources are
shown, e.g. if there's a missing CSS file.
Also I would suggest to do all of this in the Development environment (that is, in Eclipse) before starting to deploy the .war file and .wlapp file etc... (which, BTW, I hope you're doing based on the new instructions for Worklight 6.0)
In the information center, it will show you how to uncheck the Provide Library Resources in the Console Log.
I think what you're running into is:
1) Something is being served from the Dojo Library/Server
2) A bug in 6.0 that used "localhost" instead of the IP of the host (your machine running eclipse). This is fixed in the 6.0 iFix. With this fix, you can run your app external to Studio and still use the Dojo Library/Server. Without this fix, you must have everything you need within your app.
Can you install the iFix and let us know if that fixed the problem?

Is it possible to edit an IntellijIDEA project remotely via a web browser?

I am looking for something similar to RStudio-server (r-studio), but for programming in Java/Scala.
RStudio-server accessed via web is the same as the desktop version.
May be there are other equivalent solutions, given that my problem is scarce local resources to run my programs, but plenty of resources in a remote computer.
The more seamless, the better.
It would be also good if I could just run my program remotely seamlessly (outputing like if it was local and inside the IDE).
I recently starting using Chromoting to remote into a different machine that has IntelliJ. It's convenient in that it's built into chrome and I can pretty much do this anywhere because everyone has Chrome these days. It's a very good remoting tool but it still is remoting, it has its delays and minor problems (some keyboard shortcuts don't get sent through and those options haven't been added yet).
Just an idea for something to try.
It is not seamless, but I just managed to solve the problem using the right workflow:
In the local machine:
edit files in IDEA
[optional] set the output path, if any, to your favorite file hosting service (dropbox in my case)
commit with your favorite VCS (bzr in my case, it can need a push to the remote machine)
In the remote machine:
update with your favorite VCS
compile and run with your favorite build tool (sbt in my case):
sbt 'run-main experiments.AtomicBombMain'
[optional] In the local machine again:
[optional] get the generated files at the output path at the shared folder of your favorite file hosting service
Link with more details about the entire process since instalation until compiling:

PlayFramework2 required Jar files and recognising compiled sources

Finding hard to know why am I unable to get this thing :
... I can run my application from command prompt, But when I do idea and Import the existing project using IntelliJ unable to trace out what Libraries or Jar files I need to get going.
In one Play1.2.3 I used to just Import Play and Play1.2.3 jar files and everything works..
Update
Have tried Creating a new project and Open Project(Instead of Import) from IntelliJ,But no luck.It has attached all the Libraries but still the error doesnt go screenshot attached:
IDE :IntelliJ 11.0.2 &
Play : 2.0.2
Since Play 2.0.2 you don't need to create Idea's project from the scratch and import modules into it.
Just choose Open project from the menu, and find the folder where you performed play idea action, whole project will be ready to use in the IDE without any additional steps.
Edit:
Most important: to reflect changes in managed sources your application need to compile it first, so it needs to work in the background while developing or you need to compile it manually if app is stopped. Otherwise Idea will not be able to compile (and find) managed sources. That's exactly job of the Play's DEV mode which differs from others Java frameworks, which requires to compile app manually and/or configuring your IDE to do that from time to time. Play's dev mode allows to do it in background.
Idea will start recognizing your managed sources after first run the app in the browser (as it will compile it, and idea will catch it just few seconds later). Of course the app must be running in dev mode, to compile views, assets etc.
play run
Of course if you're in production mode, you also need to restart the app.
alternatively after idealizing the project, or if your app is not working you can manually compile managed sources with:
play compile
Also if you'll start in tilde-dev mode, it will be compiling changed resources right after the changes' saving
play ~run
