Does anyone here use IntelliJ as a compiler?

I've used netbeans for all my stuff in java since I learned java, and well, i guess most people are switching to Eclipse so I better learn eclipse - but that's unrelated.

Was wondering if anyone has gotten the libraries and whatever to work in IntelliJ, i've heard some good things about the program and i'm hoping I can try it out in 2015 (since if netbeans and eclipse are nearly the same, and IntelliJ is well-regarded, then maybe IntelliJ is better than eclipse... i dont really have the best reasoning, just go with it...)

One of our students used intelliJ last year for developing our robot code, the rest of the team used eclipse.

As long as you can execute ant scripts in the right order as part of the build process, you shouldn't have any problem. That's all the official plugins do. You can steal the underlying scripts and have your intelliJ project run them in the correct order to achieve the same Build/Deploy capabilities.

I can't provide step by step instructions, but if you're interested in getting it working, I would suggest installing eclipse (instructions here (http://www.usfirst.org/sites/default/files/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2015/Installing_Eclipse_C_Java_for_FRC_2015.pdf)) and the 2015 plugins (when they are released).

This is the process we followed the past two seasons to get the plugins distributed for netbeans working in eclipse.
If you want to see what we had to do specifically to go from netbeans to eclipse, its all outlined in detail here (http://team2168.org/index.php/resources/programming/268-setting-up-your-development-environment).
The process should be similar for intelliJ.

Our team used IntelliJ exclusively last year. I haven't had the time to look in to making the 2015 SDK work with IntelliJ but I intend to soon.
