I just started using linux (Ubuntu) and switched to IntelliJ as my new IDE. I just finished setting up my first project, but I can't find where to change the default program for opening my .swf output file.
Right now it keeps opening my file with 'Movie Player' which doesen't even recognize .swf files.
Is this a linux setting I have to change (default program for filetype) Or a setting in IntelliJ?
Usually it's possible to override the application in the Run/Debug configuration. For Flash the setting is Launch with, for Haxe it would be Alternative executable.
You can set it up here:Settings > IDE SETTINGS > File Types. This will change the view mode for different file types. As on my windows machine, .swf is not in the list. This may indicate that you have to change this file's default program in your OS (Ubuntu).

How can I force IntelliJ, when working on a remote project, to use the specified format specified in an XML file?
I noticed that no matter what settings I put, the formatter in IntelliJ will not honor my settings and will instead use the default formatter.
I have tried going on the remote host and changing the settings, change the settings in the cache, and changing the settings on my guest machine. Nothing seems to stick.
When I am connected to remote via IntelliJ, I can go to preferences and confirm that my desired format settings for Java are set. However, when I format, again, the default formatter is used.
What ended up working was creating the project on my local machine. This creates a .ijwb and related bazel project files.
I then moved this .ijwb folder to my remote machine. This fixed the issue and used the correct bazel options and formatter options.

I have an project with grunt, and whenever I save a file it runs the csscomb script in the grunt:watch task. My old "IDE" Sublime reloaded the changes automatically, phpStorm doesn't do that. I always have to manually synch the file.
The whole problem is that I write code, save in between and continue programming, and then the popup about the file system changes appears.

Do you run grunt:watch outside of webStorm, or using Grunt console? In the latter case, the file system should be synchronized when task is completed. But if the task is run externally, outside of webstorm, you have to synchronize files manually
I know this is old stuff, but I had the same problem with WebStorm - i.e grunt running externally on a network server.
I just unchecked "use safe-write ..." in Settings > Appearance & Behaviour > System Settings and now my WS writes saves directly to the file triggering watch grunt tasks.
Try Preferences -> Appearance & Behavior -> System Settings -> Synchronize files on frame activation. PHPStorm will automatically reload file system changes once you switch to its window.
Today,I installed fedora20 on my computer and then downloaded the Intellij idea13, but when I execute the file by double clicking, there is no response. But it works well in a terminal with ./idea.sh.
Thanks, I need your help!
I'm not a fedora user but the following may help you to understand the problem.
When you double-click an item from the file manager, the default application for that type of file is loaded.
That depends on the configuration for the specific MIME type (which is application/x-sh).
There's a big chance that the default application for .sh files is set to gedit or kwrite depending on the desktop environment. The Intellij Idea installer is binary file and maybe the application is failing to load.
Have you tried right-clicking the file and select the option 'Open in Terminal'? The context menu may also show something like Execute or Launch.
I've recently been learning the Processing programming language. Processing includes an IDE called the Processing Development Environment (PDE), but the editor is quite basic.
The IDE has an option to use an external editor. One of my preferred editors is jEdit due to it's cross-platform support. Jedit has built-in support for over 170 languages, but not processing which I guess is still a little bit too niche at the moment.
How do I add Processing with all the color highlights to jEdit?
The whole process for adding processing has been detailed here: http://wiki.processing.org/w/JEdit_as_External_IDE.
Basically, jEdit is using XML files to define syntax coloring rules (incl. simple checking) for its various editing modes. Each syntax definition file has a file extension mapping to tell jEdit which language mode to use for individual files. For Processing files we will use the standard .pde extension.
There are two things you need to do: (Before installing any of the files below, please make sure jEdit is not running.)
Syntax Highlighting
Download File:Processing.xml into the "modes" folder inside your jEdit installation.
On Linux/MAC this is usually /usr/share/jedit/modes
On Windows this is C:\Program Files\jEdit\modes
Then copy and paste the following XML node into the file "catalog" inside the same folder and syntax coloring/checking for PDE files should be ready: <MODE NAME="processing" FILE="Processing.xml" FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.pde" />
Abbreviations
Download Media:abbrevs_v0.1.zip and extract it into the right folder for your system:
Windows
C:\Documents and Settings\{USERNAME}\.jedit
Mac
/Users/{USERNAME}/.jedit
Note: This folder is not visible in the Finder. Unzip the file in your home folder, open a terminal window and type: mv ~/abbrevs ~/.jedit/abbrevs</source>
Linux
Find the location of the jEdit settings directory via the menu: Utilities > Troubleshooting > Activity log, then extract/copy the file in that folder.
For all systems, you'll need to restart jEdit in order for the abbreviations to come in effect.
If I try to build an application with the application class outside the default package, so the application file path is /app/AppClass.mxml instead of /AppClass.mxml (as would normally be the case), Flash builder cannot launch the application for debugging because it is looking for the SWF in debug/app/AppClass.swf and the SWF is being output to debug/AppClass.swf instead. Changing the output folder to debug/app makes it put the swf in debug/app, but then it puts the application configuration file "AppClass-app.xml" in /debug/app/app and then that can't be found.
Is there a way to change only the SWF output folder, or the location of the xml configuration file in the run-configuration?
You may use symbolic link to created swf file - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
for example for Windows :
cd project/path/bin-debug/package/path/
MKLINK ClassName.swf project/path/bin-debug/ClassName.swf
and it's work
or you can use symbolic link for folder:
cd project/path/bin-debug/package/
MKLINK path project/path/bin-debug/ /D
I think I remember this worked for me. But it was long time ago. And, yes, it is a known problem, I also recall Adobe people mentioning it as a limitation of FB.
In my Ant script, you'll need to do the adjustments to reflect your actual file names and directory structure. Also note that it will make it more cumbersome to debug it from FB. You'll need to use the debugging target in Ant, and then connect the debugger to the running application (so that some info, especially on the startup) will be lost. The only way you would be able to debug it, though I've never tried it, is with the commandline tools (I'm not sure of adl syntax for breakpoints / printing / stack frames, so idk how to do it.
Also, for the released application you will probably want to change the signing mechanism.
