Deploying/Running jvm application on a remote-host from Intellij

Question

Would it be possible to deploy/run (for testing purposes) a standalone Java application on a remote server from intellij? I'm not trying to connect to an already running JVM, but to start a new JVM on the remote host from intellij just like it was running on my local machine?

Answer 1

There is no built-in support for it at the moment. You can deploy an application to an application server running on a remote machine, but if you have a standalone application, there is no built-in feature to deploy it.

That said, you can write an Ant script or a shell script to deploy your app, and use either the Ant integration or the external tool feature to run it from with in IntelliJ IDEA.
