I am a newbie to IntelliJ IDEA. I was trying to deploy a web app in Tomcat.
It failed to deploy and i was not able to see any errors in the log console.
After much searching, I was able to find out the log files at
~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea10/tomcat/_p1/logs/ folder.
There were a bunch of log files here and one of the files contained the error. I then could solve the issue and proceed.
I was a user of eclipse and this error would have come directly in the log console in eclipse. However this is not the case in IntelliJ IDEA. Can somebody please explain what I am missing here?
Also, it would be nice if somebody could point out how the integration with Tomcat is done in IDEA (for better understanding). Note: I am using IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2 Ultimate edition on Mac OS 10.6.8.
IntelliJ IDEA instructs Tomcat to use temporary directory as CATALINA_BASE where it places context configuration with the Artifact path from your project settings, it doesn't copy your web application into webapps directory.
In the Tomcat Run/Debug configuration there is Logs tab where you can specify custom logs to show in IDEA console, it should work out of the box, but probably you have customized logging in Tomcat configuration or in the application itself. Or maybe Tomcat 7 logging configuration is different and doesn't work with IDEA in which case you should submit a bug.
Here's some info for Windows users....if you check the boxes for 'Show console when stdout/stderr change', you may find that the Output tab does not show up even if stdout/stderr change.
For me, this was due to directory structure for the project containing spaces.
When I renamed the directory structure so that it did not contain spaces the Output tab showed up.
Found solution here: Cannot deploy project to tomcat inside intellij IDEA 14. Applications Context was incorrect.
Run/Debug Configurations -> Deployment tab -> Applications Context

I deploy my application using Maven on Liferay 7 (on Tomcat 8). But I need to debug it. How to configure my debug? Because, when I start maven with debug mode, it builds and stops. I have no ideas how to deal with it
Maven with debug mode is only targeted to debug maven build processes. If you want to debug your portlet you should follow the next steps:
Run Menu Entry > Edit Configurations > Add New Remote Configuration > Configure your host and debug port
You have to check too that JPDA port is enabled your Tomcat (you can enable it in your startup.sh/startup.bat script adding jpda in the final line)
exec "$PRGDIR"/"$EXECUTABLE" jpda start "$#"
Quick generic answer (someone with actual IntelliJ experience can probably give more details):
You start tomcat, that has Liferay deployed. Follow the advice you have for "how to debug tomcat applications". The caveat is that you might need to point IntelliJ to the source files for some (all) of the modules in Liferay - which is a huge task (being composed out of 500 modules. For eclipse I'm aware of a fix, for IntelliJ I'm not aware. I'm pretty sure such a beast exists though.
It will be easier (e.g. quick) if you only need your own modules' source.
I had been developing an application on a trial version of IntelliJ 2016 Ultimate. Since the trial version ran out, I resumed work using the Community Edition. However, trying to launch my application yielded the following error:
Unknown run configuration type #com.intellij.j2ee.web.tomcat.TomcatRunConfigurationFactory
"No problem" I thought, just an incompatible plugin that was installed with Ultimate that I don't really need anyway. I opened the Plugins section of the Preferences menu, but I can't find the plugin in question. Below is a partial screenshot of the plugin list where I would expect to see the plugin listed in the error message.
The configuration can also not be edited from the Run/Debug Configurations menu, but lists the Run Configuration error as: "Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
Am I really unable to uninstall the Ultimate plugin preventing my run configuration from working from the Community Edition? What can I do to fix this if so?
It's have been a long time since this question was launched but it might be useful for new searches.
I got the same error with Dart and Flutter.
Just go to Menu >> File >> Settings. Then type plugins on the search box. Check if your plugins need to be updated (in my case Dart and Flutter). I the screenshot I had clicked in the "update" green button. So it turns into "Restart IDE" text. It should fix the problem once you restart the IDE.
To the best of my knowledge the community edition of IDEA will not load and run plugins that are not compatible with it. Moreover, by default, the community edition uses a different configuration directory than the Ultimate edition. So unless you modified the config directory to use, the community version should not be picking up the Ultimate Edition's plugins. Based on the error you show, I think the issue is you simply need to delete that Run configuration. The error is saying that that Run configuration wants to use a Plugin (The Tomcat Plugin) that is not available (i.e. not installed).
If you still want to confirm what plugins are installed, you can manually uninstall a plugin by removing it from the plugins directory. Note that some plugins are simply a standalone JAR, in the plugins directory, others are sub-directories within the plugins directory. Just delete the JAR or sub-directory.
That plugins directory is the idea config directory. See Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs for information on its location. On windows for example, by default it will be:
Ultimate: C:\Users\UserName\.IntelliJIdea2016\config\plugins
Community: C:\Users\UserName\..IdeaIC2016\config\plugins
UPDATE
I forgot to mention... bundled plugins are in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins. So for the ultimate edition, the Tomcat plugin is in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins/Tomcat. That is why, as you mentioned in your comment below, you are not seeing that plugin in the user installed plugin directory I mentioned above.
updating flutter and android studio worked in my
case
Simple upgrade Dart plugin..
Go to Settings/Plugins/Browse Repositories and search dart (Language) and upgrade
this will work.
I had a similar worded issue "Run Configuration Error: Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
In the bottom right part of the Rider IDE, you will see a popup that says
"Plugin supporting feature (Run Configuration[UNITY_ATTACH_AND_PLAY]) is currently disabled."
Click enable plugins, and restart when Rider asks you to do so.
If this does not work, remember that one possible reason is the issues with macOS indexing (my Macbook started to malfunction after its battery hit 0). A way to check is to try and search a file from the top right corner(). If you can not find existing files, this means macOS messed up with indexing.
To solve it, click Apple icon on top left side and go to System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy Tab -> Add all folders to the "won't index" box -> Remove everything you have added so they get reindexed.

Lastly, go to Rider and hit File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart.
I am running IntelliJ 15 Ultimate and trying to enable the Tomcat plugin (which for some reason was disabled). However, IntelliJ does not seem to let me re-enable it.
What I have tried is
Re-install IntelliJ 15, and I chose to replace the old version, but the problems with the plugin seem to be persistent
Deleting /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 15.app/Contents/plugins/Tomcat between the re-installs to ensure it was not being re-used, but with no avail
Verifying that I have a licensed/paid version of IntelliJ 15 Ultimate edition
At this point I'm not sure what to do, as a re-install clearly did not work. Are there any directories or files I could manually change/remove?
I am using OS X version 10.11.2 is that matters.
You need to enable the "Java EE: EJB, JPA, Servlets" plugin as well. The message is displayed because that plugin is not enabled, and the Tomcat plugin depends on it.
The only solution I could come up with was to entirely wipe IntelliJ and any config files it created as described in this answer.
Upon installing IntelliJ once again, the Tomcat plugin was enabled and was able to create a run configuration for that! Maybe not a fix per se, but it works as expected again.
I am JavaScript developer, and currently working on project where Tomcat server is used.
I am familiar with IntelliJ idea but recently read about another JetBrains product specially for web-development - WebStorm. I've found some cool features in WebStorm(especially related to AngularJS autocompletion) but it seems that there is no Tomcat server support and I have to build server side of project into *.war-file and run it manually through terminal each time.
So is there any Tomcat/Java support in WebStorm?
(Or I should continue to use IntelliJ idea and forget about WebStorm and its cool functionality =) )
You can do one thing.
First start your apache tomcat server with startup.bat/startup.sh. (Suppose your project directory name is "AngularJSTest" in WebStorm.)
Right click on that > Refactor > Move .
Give the path to webapps directory of Apache tomcat.
So from now on whatever changes you make in the project from WebStorm, it will get reflected in the webapps directory. You can access it from the link http://localhost:8080/AngularJSTest/yourHtml.html.
I added several JARs to my GlassFish server path and now the GlassFish Admin Console won't come up. It says "HTTP Status 404 - Servlet FacesServlet is not available". I think something I added is causing a JAR conflict with the admin tool. I would like to remove the stuff I added to the path, but I can't use the GlassFish admin tool to do it.
Can someone tell me how to manually edit the GlassFish server path values? Are they stored in a XML file somewhere? I looked around a little and couldn't find them.
I found the problem JAR (xercesImpl.jar). If I simply rename that JAR, then the GlassFish Admin Console comes up with no problem. Apparently GlassFish uses a different version and there was a conflict.
