I used to love using IntelliJ but my new company doesn't spend money on IDEs. Now with the release of IntelliJ Community Edition, the only obstacle I have is that my company uses Perforce. Does anyone know if there are Perforce plug-ins that work with the Community Edition?

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Version Control | Perforce. Select the Perforce is online checkbox to establish live connection to the Perforce server.
In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S , select Plugins. In the Plugins dialog, switch to the Marketplace tab.
IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and IntelliJ IDEA Edu are free and can be used without any license.
The obsolete VCS-based Perfoce plugin does not work at all.
The obsolete non-VCS-based PerforceDirectPlugin (http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=69) works partially with the Community Edition. Several operations don't work, presumably because the plugin API has changed. However, the basic Edit/Add/Revert/Sync operations work.
Integrating it into the Community Edition is another story. I'm used to "edit on type" so I habitually type return when the warning dialog comes up that the file I'm trying to edit is read-only. This is bad, because later it's difficult to find files I have accidentally edited using the file system, and check them out for edit in Perforce.
The other big missing piece is the VCS change bar on the left, which is very useful for seeing where you've changed a file and quickly going back to read/edit those changes.
