IDEs can be cranky when it comes to debugging applications that use JavaRebel. To fix this issue with IntelliJ IDEA we have a released a plugin. The plugin can be downloaded or updated straight from your IDEA installation. The current version requires at least IDEA build 7364.

This plugin uses a different approach to adding breakpoints and is tested to work with JavaRebel enabled and disabled projects. In some cases IDEA adds an exclamation mark to the breakpoint indicator, the breakpoint still gets set.

The plugin is licensed under Apache License v. 2 and is bundled with source code. If any of the community readers use IDEA, please give the new version a go and let us know how it went.

If you don’t know how to setup IDEA and JavaRebel read the JavaRebel and IntelliJ IDEA tips.

Note the plugin is an effort started by Pieter Degraeuwe to enable support for debugging JavaRebel enabled applications under IntelliJ IDEA.
