Could somebody tell me if it is possibile to open two instances of the same project in Intellj IDEA or can I for example have two windows with opened different project files with attached project explorer.
I asking for that because I have two monitors and it will be more efficient to navigate on each windows separately.
For now I must drag tab from root window and drop to another window which it is annoying and unhandy.
This is not possible. IntelliJ IDEA has a one project one window paradigm.
Some suggestions, in order of best to worst, that may help:
The navigation bar (Alt+Home or ⌥⇱ {Option Home}) can be used in place of the project tool window. You can use it either in pop-up mode or anchored mode (View > Navigation Bar). When a file is opened via the navigation bar, it opens in the window that has focus. The nav bar is ultimately a horizontal project window. Check the help documents for how to easily navigate through the nav bar. Once you get use to it, you may find you never use the project tool window again.
Have you tried floating the project window and placing it on the edge of one of the monitors so it sites between the two editor windows? While you would still need to drag file to the second editor window, it might prove easier.
You could create a second project with the all the same modules as the first project (just being sure to save the second project's .idea configuration directory in a different location). But this would require keeping two project configurations in sync, and you would need to make sure the "synchronize files on frame activation" setting is on. In the end, I think that is far more hassle then it is worth.
Hope that helps.

I use Eclipse Mars for C/C++ on Ubuntu. Now I must use Java. I reading on how to install Java on Eclipse, this answer as well as this one. It is obvious that I have to click on Help, but I can't find it in Eclipse, thus I am asking for help! :)
Or maybe is there a way to activate Help via terminal or something?
The menu can be customized as part of the perspective
To get it to show, the two options are
Reset the entire perspective. Help should be visible by default in every one but resetting will reset every customization done to the perspective.
this can be done either through Preferences, General > Perspectives via the Revert button
or via the menu for the current perspective: Window > Perspective > Reset Perspective...
Adjust the perspective
Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective...
In the new window that appears in the Menu Visibility tab is the Help entry which is probably invisible.
Right now I am working on a GUI application In java using the GUI builder that comes with NetBeans.
However I have found some kind of strange bug/feature, as I am no longer able to see the window that allows users to change between "source" and "design" (Design is the drag and drop NetBeans gui builder while source is the code where you can add your own methods and so forth).
NOTE: the red is censored information that is not necessary.
When I right click on a component to add event code, then it takes me to the source (without a window for me to change back to design, it goes back to design when i close and reopen it). So I know that NetBeans recognizes that this is indeed a JFrame form with the NetBeans GUI designer, and the source code is indeed availible..
I could not find any answers to this question on this site or on the web, I have tried resetting the windows but it did not work, I also couldn't find the window when I clicked on the window option. I am sure there is some easy question but I am unable to find it. Please forgive me if this was an easy question.
On the menu bar, try clicking View -> Show Editor Toolbar
In IntelliJ every time I make a change in code and I run the app afterwards, "run window" is automatically popped up. Is there any way to disable this annoying behaviour or how to make it less distracting?
I finally could solve this one. At least it worked for me. At the bottom of "Run/Debug configurations" window and in "Before launch" part, uncheck "Activate tool window" check box.
There is currently no solution to do this permanently. However, there is a workaround to prevent it from popping up. Try this:
After the first time the window pops-up simply resize it all the way to the bottom (i.e. grab the TOP and drag down until the window disappears). This will prevent it from popping up again until you manually click one of the buttons to open any window in the same area (i.e. Run, TODO, Android, Terminal, Messages, (and Find Results) - or whatever you have in that same area if you've customized it).
To keep it from popping up, never click the hide button on any of these windows but rather use the same "drag from top to bottom" to hide them (the effect is the same).
This is annoying, to say the least, but once you get used to it it works fine and is much less annoying than dealing with that blasted Run popup window :)
NOTE
I should mention that this is completely safe to do as the windows are only hidden when you do this, and clicking the window's button at the bottom will show it in its original size - so nothing goes missing or breaks using this method :-)
These are called Tool Windows. Right-click the tool window, it pops up a menu, the last option of which is 'Hide'.
Alternatively,
You can install the plugin ToolWindow Manager to show/hide the Tool Window of your choice.
Either
1. Set the run window to be in either split and then shrink it down to be as small as possible.
2. Set the windows to be in floating mode and then shrink it down and move it somewhere less distracting.
disabling checkboxes in "Window | Background tasks solved my problem.
It is soooo annoying oO I just dragged the windows to an other screen and/or set their height to a minimum.. Not "best practise" but it is better than nothing -.-
In intellij go to main menu windows->active tool window->disable floating mode option there.
thanks
For those who are facing this issue with "Run" window they can follow below instruction
From dropdown select "Edit Configuration":
Open Logs tab:
Uncheck these 2 checkboxes:
I have found a solution!!!!
There old plugin for Intellij IDE called "Hide Tool Window Ex".
It hides any tool windows that being opened just after you click in editor again.
(plugin page)
visual example
I wonder if it is possible, to hide some packages (or directories) from the netbeans package view window.
Currently, I am working on a project, which has many projects, but I only know some of them.
I like the list view, so just collapsing it to a tree is not what I'm searching for.
Thanks in advance!
You can't hide only some packages of some project, you've got opened. You can only show/hide whole projects. If you don't want to have so many projects opened in your current perspective, just click with you RMB to that project and click Close. Then press select it with LMB and press Delete. Just be sure NOT to check Delete files also on local disc, otherwise, you permanently lost your files!!!
I am learning Java using Eclipse - started a project with javax.swing and could view a design page with my page layouts shown and various palets for components etc. Now this design page seems to have vanished and I cant discover any option to recover it. I hope someone can get me back on track.
Have you tried Right-click on class (for example MySwingPanel.java) in package editor Open With->WindowBuilder Editor?
The last time you selected something in Open With - this is the editor to open that file on double click.
Have you tried changing the Perspective? Click the arrows next to the DDMS tab in the upper right hand corner of Eclipse and select the 'Java' Perspective.
