Hi I have just started using IntelliJ again and have version 9. I just installed the Mecurial plugin and now the ide won't start anymore. Has an error of

Fatal error initializing class com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.ActionManager:
java.lang.VerifyError: class com.dcx.hg.MercurialVcs overrides final method getName.()Ljava/lang/String;

I now know that I should be using the plugin hg4idea

Is there a way I can remove this plugin so I can start the ide, I am sure there must be..

Thanks in advance.

A: 

If you look in the directory where you installed IntelliJ, you'll see a /plugins directory. Perhaps if you delete the Mercurial plugin folder you'll be able to restart the UI. Worth a try.

Thanks, that is correct. Just that I was on a Mac and I couldn't find the plugin directory. I thought it must be in a hidden folder somewhere but it is in ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA60/
