I have some app that runs bean shell scripts (*bsh) and I absolutely love Intellij IDEA. And my bsh scripts are has syntax looks similar to java syntax. How can I add support of bsh files to make it behave like it is java source files?
I tried to add association at Settings -> Editor -> File types and all I got is general syntax highlight but it still doesn't support formatting and autocomplete so the Code -> Reformat code breaks all my formatting to left aligned text.
UPD BeanShell Box doesn't work. Maybe because of its outdating
You are probably looking for BeanShell Box plugin.

How can I reformat not supported files in Intellij ?
The files I use are .tpl for the aria templates framework : http://ariatemplates.com/usermanual/latest/writing_templates
Is there a way to configure intellij to reformat code for unsupported file types ? at least the indent.
Thanks in advance.
There are a couple things you can do:
1. Settings > Editor > Code Style > Other File Types here you can define indentation for all non supported filetypes.
2. Settings > File Types here you can add new file type with pattern. You need to click plus sign and add the name and then you can configure a couple of things like syntax highlighting for some keywords, comments recognition etc.:
3. Abouve solutions didn't format the code as you would like, but it's something IDEA might you help with. To format it you can create your own plugin which would format non supported (yet) languages. There is jetbrains SDK and here you can find documentation on how to do this.
Essentially, I want to export the code style settings from IntelliJ (the default one is fine) and use them in Checkstyle. (It's for a maven build validation kind of thing that is already setup, but we want to use IntelliJ's code style, not Sun's or Googles)
Step one should be to export the IntelliJ code style. Easier said than done, it seems.
Now, I know there is a lot of material on this on both SO and other places, but I simply cannot find the code style xml file anywhere, not even after using "copy to project" or "save as..." in the IntelliJ settings code style dialog.
I also tried exporting code style through the IntelliJ File menu, but it will only export the code style from areas that have changed (eg. change tab space from 4 to 2 and it will only export the "OTHER_INDENT_OPTIONS" part of the code style).
I should add that I'm using IDEA 14.1.4.
Is it possible to export the complete IntelliJ code style?
Unfortunately it is not possible to do what you want for (at least) three reasons, the first two of which you have already raised:
While is possible to export a code style file from Intellij IDEA using File->Settings->Code Style->Java->{Click the Settings icon}->Select Export... from the popup menu, that exported XML file only contains the changes you have made from the default settings.
Those exported settings are in a format that is only meaningful to Intellij, so even if you could export every single Java code style setting to an XML file, you would then have to massively edit that file to make it meaningful to CheckStyle.
Finally, note that there is an open request for Intellij to do exactly what you want. See IDEA-149529:
Current export functionality for Code Styles is lacking. Only useful
for other users of IntelliJ or as a backup. Only exports the diff
between user defined settings and the built-in default. This makes it
very difficult to produce a matching style for other
formatting/beautification tools.
It would be helpful if the export had the option of exports ALL the
settings IDEA uses.
However, there is an alternative approach. Instead of providing an Intellij IDEA file to Checkstyle, provide a Checkstyle file to Intellij IDEA...
Install the Checkstyle plugin, and then open two sets of one or more duplicated files in Intellij IDEA, one set configured to use IDEA's formatting and one set configured to Checkstyle's formatting.
Repeatedly tweak the Checkstyle settings until its opened file(s) are formatted to conform to the corresponding files formatted by IDEA. When the sets of files match create a Checkstyle XML rules file. Tedious, but only a one time activity.
Finally, you can then import your customized CheckStyle XML rules file into Intellij Idea, using Import Scheme -> CheckStyle Configuration as as shown in the screen shot below (if, and only if, you have installed the CheckStyle-IDEA plugin). This functionality did not exist when the OP was created. For more details see the following bug report: IDEA-61520 Codestyle from Checkstyle and in particular the response from JetBrains dated 2/8/16.

I was looking for an answer to this too. I suppose you want to add it to your build process like I do. Since I saw no value in enforcing something that can't be automated, I settled on (haven't implemented yet) executing the style formatter as a pre-commit hook (I use git) https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/command-line-formatter.html against all files in the changelist. I use the defaults too, and this would be enough.
Since I don't have any customizations, I would not know if an exported code style xml would run the default in addition to the diff in the xml. Either way, there's no point in enforcing code style rules that can't be automated.
I am using a color theme that I am perfectly happy with, but I am dealing with a lot of ".impex" files that are unique to the Hybris platform. The IDE essentially sees them as text files. How can I add syntax coloring to these ".impex" files so the text is not just all one color?
Maybe this plugin can help you.
Syntax highlight for impex files
Besides, you can register a file pattern to a recognised file type: Preferences -> IDE Settings -> File Types.
Is anything (else) for Eclipse Kepler that colors SQL syntax ... and assists with SQL code editing? I don't anything more.
I tried DTP (Data Tools Platform), but it runs only with new files. It does not color syntax in already written files - and it is very bad, uncomfortable - because I have prepared few files and it is fully useless to create new file and copy (rewrite) content of original file into that new file, mostly if content assist does not assist with some commands.
From me I recommend Toad Extension for Eclipse. It does color syntax also in already written files.
Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software -> download from site: http://community-downloads.quest.com/toadsoft/toadextensions/eclipse/freeware/
If you are getting syntax coloring in some files but not in others with the same extension, some of the files may have been opened with another editor previously and Eclipse remembers which editor was last used with a particular file. To change the editor that's used, right click on the file and select "Open With" option.
Is there a way to format code based on languages in notepad++?
I like how light-weight that editor is, and the syntax highlighting is awesome too. But I'd like to be able to press CTRL+F or something and have everything be nicely lined up, like in some bigger editors.
There are some plugins that format source. Check out Plugins -> Plugins Manager -> Show Plugin Manager.
