I would like to use IntelliJ Idea 13 (community edition preferably, but I would also like to know if this is only available in the professional edition) instead of WebStorm. The answer (written by a JetBrains official as far as I understand) to this question sound like it is possible, it says (if I understand it right) all the functionality of Idea derivatives like WebStorm is is available in Idea plug-ins. But I still can't find the right plug-in to create static (HTML+CSS+JS code, no Java) web projects. If I try to open a WebStorm project Idea says it doesn't understand "WEB_MODULE" module type. What do I have to I set-up?
Populate the Web module: create the required Java classes, configure servlets, filters, listeners, and references. Configure the required static Web content resources. Configure Web application deployment. Deploy and run the application.
IntelliJ IDEA includes a dedicated wizard for creating Java Enterprise projects based on various Java EE and Jakarta EE implementations. In this tutorial, we will create a simple web application. From the main menu, select File | New | Project. In the New Project dialog, select Jakarta EE.
Create a new web applicationClick New Project on the Welcome screen or select File | New | Project. From the Generators list, select Jakarta EE. Name the new project, select a build tool, a language you want to use, and select the Web application project template.
For those using IntelliJ IDEA 14.x.x Community Edition, the "Static Web" option in Projects or Modules only seems to show up after the Phonegap/Cordova Plugin
has been installed (Settings->Plugins->Browse repositories
).
As Andrey mentioned, HTML+CSS+JS support is only provided in Idea Ultimate. No additional plugins have to be installed (unless you need Vue.js support or like to use Live Edit - these plugins, along with some others, are not bundled with Idea and have to be installed from the repository (Preferences | Plugins))
