Hi guys,
My Intellij installation refused to start up on my macbook which is running snow leopard. In have reinstalled it and yet it refused to start up. i also set explicitly the Java_Home inside the .profile.
All it does is bounce and then fades away from my dock. Does any one have an idea what might be wrong.
Cheers
I've seen some problems with the built-in (default) java install. You could try installing another java version perhaps? Also, if you launch it from a terminal, you'll probably get a stacktrace or other error giving clues.
You can try clearing the cache by deleting the directory Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea90 in your home directory.
I have the same issue... I managed to start intellij idea though by browsing into the .app and running the idea.sh script in bin. You need to make sure JDK_HOME environmental variable is set to the location of the JDK, which for me was /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home.
EDIT: to clarify Elias's Answer, Deleting ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea90CE worked for me...
