Intellij 12 and websphere liberty 8.5 next beta - Application server libraries not found

I installed the latest WebSphere liberty profile to the Mac:

wlp-developers-runtime-8.5.next.beta.jar

WebSphere version is shown as 8.5.next.beta in Intellij.

In Intellij 12 I try to add this WebSphere Application Server and I get:

Cannot Save Settings: Application server libraries not found

If I look on the filesystem it seems that the location of:

  • com.ibm.ws.javaee.jsp.2.2_1.0.0.0.jar
  • com.ibm.ws.javaee.servlet.3.0_1.0.0.jar

has changes from /dev/spec to /dev/api/spec

I am not sure if this is the root cause, but Intellij seems to add these to the classpath in the previous version. Is there a way to get intellij up and running e.g. can I change the location where it looks for the libs?

Solution

  • This has now been officially fixed in Intelli 12.1.2 and newer. The release notes and original ticket have further details.
