IntelliJ IDEA 12 / MPS 2.5.3 Plugins / OpenJDK 1.7.0.1 / Fedora16

Created February 14, 2013 23:04

I did step by step from JetBrains TV session: "How to enable MPS in IntelliJ IDEA" - http://tv.jetbrains.net/videocontent/how-to-enable-mps-in-intellij-idea

IntelliJ IDEA dialog "Choose Main Class" isn't working. It's impossible to select the Demo class from the MPS Project Demo.

When starting IntelliJ IDEA 12, first message is:

[Techniker@L3F591407 Downloads]$ idea-IC-123.169/bin/idea.sh
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.3.5.fc16-i386)

Press Enter to continue.

..seems that my eyes are going blind late in the night,'cause didn't read the info/warning from make "Compilation completed successfully with 1 warning in 3 sec" / "Compiler setting "Use external build" should be switched off to generate MPS code". What means not nothing more, than open the IntelliJ IDEA "Settings" under "File" and deactivate the "Compiler" Option "Use external build".

I'm glad things worked out for you in the end.
Since this flag is a new option of IDEA 12, we should perhaps update http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/MPSD25/Using+MPS+inside+IntelliJ+IDEA with an explicit warning.
Would this have helped in your case?
