I have just started using IntelliJ IDEA.I am really novice to this IDE, so please bear if my question sounds silly.
I am facing a problem regarding copying of files from OS's File explorer to IntelliJ Project.
I am using following versions:
Operating System: Ubuntu v. 11.04
IntelliJ IDEA: v. 10.5.1
JDK: v. 1.6.0_27
For e.g. in the following image I have created a project having a Maven module.
I am unable to copy a schema file (.xsd) on my file system into the folder ..../src/main/conf/vehAvailRate.I tried out so many times but the file is not getting copied.Also I tried the Synchronize feature too but that too didn't helped.However when I open the project in file system and copy my desired schema file there ,IntelliJ IDEA relfects the change.
Am I doing something wrong or there is some other reason behind this behavior?
Thanks,
Jignesh
Such copy should be performed externally, using your favorite file manager. IDEA will refresh files under its project directory automatically.
If something goes wrong, check idea.log file in ~/.IntelliJIdea10/system/log directory.

When I open an existing Maven project, the IDE shows only those files on the root directory, but not any directories in the project. After a while, the IDE will show the project as what it is in the file structure, but not the directory types such as source code, test when I reopen the project. I reinstall the community edition, but the problem still resists. I have experienced the same issue for a few Java projects lately.
How to resolve this issue?
1, Please ask another teammate to check if that project really works. Sometimes the application structure already broken, then it is not your local problem.
2, There is a .idea folder in the application, delete it. Or simply, you git clone a new place Important: Please notice if you have edited / created some new files in the original directory, otherwise you would lost them if you delete the application.
3, Open intellij, and File -> Invalite caches
Personally, the second point is recommendated.
Try to click on Reload All Maven Projects in Maven tool window:
If it doesn't help you can try to perform the following actions:
Close the project with File | Close Project.
Close the IDE.
Open your project in OS file manager and remove all .iml files and the .idea directory.
Reimport the project.
If the problem remains contact JetBrains support and attach a compressed log folder along with the project structure tree.
Recently I started to find interest in Processing and decided to download the offical Processing 3 IDE from https://processing.org/download/?processing. But half of the IDE is in cyrillic symbols.
Screenshot of the IDE
I already tried to change the configuration language etc. Also I downloaded the IDE to my workplace notebook and on the notebook the IDE was complete in normal english.
Now I dont know how to fix this problem, because there are no informations about a problem like this with the Processing 3 IDE.
A few things to try - you may have already.
I know you said you tried changing the config language, but I'm not sure if you changed the "language.txt" file in the directory "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Processing". Ensure it only contains one line - "en".
Fresh install of Processing (delete the folder you extracted to and the Processing folder in the directory mentioned above, and the sketchbook folder, usually in your documents).
UPDATE:
This is a solution which has worked for others experiencing this exact issue:
Download Processing 3.1.1 - https://github.com/processing/processing/releases/tag/processing-0250-3.1.1
Make sure Processing is not already running
Rename the java folder in the processing-3.2.3 directory to something else, eg. java_broken
Copy the java folder from 3.1.1 to the 3.2.3 directory
Try running the 3.2.3 version of processing.exe
I have a computer with two hard drives. In the first one, an SSD disk, I have Windows partition (C) and on the second one (D), a raid volume, I install all the programs. I also moved my user folders (desktop, documents, downloads, pictures and videos) to D:/Users/David.
After installing IntelliJ Idea on D:/Program Filles(x86) a .IntelliJIdea13 directory appeared on D:/Users/David. No problem with this as all was working nice. Then I installed Scala plugin, created a new SBT project and build it. After this, the .sbt directory used by SBT was in C:/Users/David/.sbt but the references to the libraries in my project are pointing to D:/Users/David/.sbt. The question is, how can I force IntelliJ Idea or Scala plugin to download the libraries to D:/Users/David.sbt?
Not 100% sure if this can be a solution, you can change the HOME folder of Intellij IDEA. Look for the folder where the idea executable is. In Linux I have on
~/applications/idea13/bin
On Windows you can check the properties of the menu item. There should be file idea.properties that contains the home folder location of the idea files.
You can find more information here that describe more details:
Locations can be changed by editing the following file:
IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties
Follow the comments in idea.properties file to change the defaults,
make sure to un-comment the lines defining these properties:
idea.config.path
idea.system.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.log.path
On the other hand you can change the location of your project to D:/Users/David. you should also have a look inside the project folder, there should be a .idea folder with has a library directory. They contains the location of the libs used in the project with their paths.
As dawez allready answered, you should edit idea.properties to set config, system, plugins and log paths.
But if you want to change the user.home path, then you must edit idea.exe.vmoptions file. Just add the following at the end of the file:
-Duser.home=your_new_user_home_path
If you use idea64.exe then you should edit idea64.exe.vmoptions file.
JetBrains had added complete set of features to support such a case and this is described here:
Changing IDE default directories used for config, plugins, and caches storage
I do not have access to the internet from eclipse so I can not add software using update sites. I have tried several different methods but none seems to be working.
I am using the JBoss Dev Studio version of kepler, but I figured this might be a general eclipse question.
Tried Help- Install New Software - Add... - browse to zip file and I get "could not find jar:file:/blahblahblah/jautodoc_1.10.0.zip!/" Nothing.
Tried unzipping it so we end up with eclipse/dropins/jautodoc_1.10.0/[features | plugins followed by restart. Nothing.
Tried unzipping it so we end up with eclipse/dropins/[features | plugins] followed by restart. Still nothing.
What is the definitive way to do this?
Follow these steps for Installation:
Download jautodoc_1.11.0.zip file from :
http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/index.html#download
Unzip the jautodoc_1.11.0.zip file from the eclipse folder.
Verify the following files get copied:
Plugin folder :
net.sf.jautodoc.velocity_1.11.0.jar
net.sf.jautodoc_1.11.0.jar
Features folder :
net.sf.jautodoc.feature_1.11.0
Restart eclipse.
The JAutodoc feature should be available in Windows --> Preferences
Usage :
Select the whole file or method or attribute --> Rightclick --> Add Javadoc
Visit the following link for further info :
http://www.roseindia.net/IDE/Eclipse/jautodoc-plugin.shtml
I finally figured it out. The correct place to install the plugin and features folders is in
$ECLIPSE_HOME/studio/dropins/jautodoc
I had to create the dropins and jautodoc folders.
Perhaps it goes without saying that you can name the sub-folder containing features and plugins to whatever you want.
I'm considering switching from Eclipse to Intellij. One thing I like about Eclipse is that the whole installation is just a folder, and I can put that on a USB stick and copy it to another computer if I want. All of my plugins, settings, and everything else come with me and all I have to do is simply copy a folder.
Is there any way I could do this with Intellij?
Yes, it's possible, just copy the installation directory to the flash drive, then edit IDEA_HOME\bin\idea.properties file, change the values of idea.config.path and idea.plugins.path to the relative location, like: ../config and ../user-plugins (locations are relative to IDEA bin directory).
Now copy your original settings and third-party plug-ins (if any):
${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/config => usb:/IDEA_HOME/config
${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/config/plugins => usb:/IDEA_HOME/user-plugins
Note that it's not recommended to change idea.system.path variable, so that it remains on the fast local drive, otherwise it could affect IDEA performance and occupy a lot of USB drive space.
One thing you could also do is to use the ${idea.home} path variable. I described in an article how you can create a portable version of IntelliJ IDEA including a version of the JDK.

I hope it can help you, as this is my first article in English ;)

In addition to the answer of CrazyCoder:
To copy the "system" folder of IntelliJ / PHPStorm to the usb memory stick is required if you want that IntelliJ / PHPStorm behave like a portable app.
To get the desired folders install IntelliJ / PHPStorm to your HDD and run it at least one time.
On Windows 7 the path is (copy the folders to your usb memory stick):
%USERNAME%\.WebIde10\config\ => usb:/IDEA_HOME/config
%USERNAME%\.WebIde10\system\ => usb:/IDEA_HOME/user-plugins
Note that user-plugins is not created at first start of IntelliJ / PHPStorm, so create it on your usb memory stick.
Edit the idea.properties as CrazyCoder told you and change all 3 values:
idea.config.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.system.path
open c:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3\bin\idea.properties
change # idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/config to idea.config.path=../PortableSetting/config
change # idea.system.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/system to idea.system.path=../PortableSetting/system
change # idea.plugins.path=${idea.config.path}/plugins to idea.plugins.path=../PortableSetting/config/plugins
change # idea.log.path=${idea.system.path}/log to idea.log.path=../PortableSetting/system/log
make PortableSetting folder in c:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3\
copy content of C:\Documents and Settings\User\.IntelliJIdea14\ to c:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3\PortableSetting\
copy c:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3 to USB and enjoy!
I wrote this answer for windows XP default directory.
for more information about default directory look at here.
I read other people answers and made an step by step answer.
You can use portableapps platform for portable intellij. Details description is here.
