Previously on programmers.stackexchange.com but apparently off-topic for that forum.
I have found people complaining about the issue here: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2016/08/intellij-idea-2016-2-3-update-is-out/
I cannot ctrl+c or alt+3 so keybindings are messed.
Any ideas / temp fixes / resolutions before Jetbrains do a patch?

You can try using the Standard JDK 1.8_102 I then had the terminal working again, but fonts were ugly.
It is a general issue, I change my update channel to "Early Access Program"
I update to IntelliJ 2016.2.4 (is the last RC) and them I change my channel again, be careful and don't update to IntelliJ 2016.3 except you really want to.
You can do that going to the menu option "check updates" and click in the link updates in the middle of the text.
The close the popup and go to check updates again.
Remember change back your update channel.

Hi,
I am currently facing two issues while remote debugging. Googled around but haven't been able to fix'em.
Despite the source code being available within the project, the
debugger always stops in the maven sources. Question : Is there a
setting/workaround that boils down to "Prefer project modules over maven sources while debugging" ?
Idea showed a popup showing the alternate sources initially. After selecting local module i disabled it. Now i can not re-enable it (for other local modules). The intended behaviour was that it automatically goes to local module source but that not working. Not irritating enough, Preferences -> Build -> Debugger -> "Show alternate source switcher" is not working. It always keeps disabled no matter what i do.
Any inputs are much appreciated.

Update
Solution for #2 is to do it the hard way. Open up
/Users/user-name-here/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC15/options/other.xml
and set 'SHOW_ALTERNATIVE_SOURCE' to true i.e.
<option name="SHOW_ALTERNATIVE_SOURCE" value="true" />
and restart IDEA
Even I had the same problem. I had external jars files attached in the Project_Structure -> Modules -> Dependencies. I did the following trick, it worked for me and it is not the remote debugging. I attached the source code of those jar files in Project_Structure -> Libraries and click the + in the second window pane (I am using Intellij Idea Ultimate 2018.2) then java option in the drop-down list. After selecting java option, a file browser window will open up, choose the source code directory you want to attach during the debugging.
I have a very simple question, but I Googled and somehow I couldn't find it. I was wondering how can I get the
in Intellij 14 or something similar?
I saw it in a tutorial, but couldn't find the panel. In my case when I followed this video exactly, I couldn't see the panel and I couldn't find it anywhere. I have IntelliJ 14.
UPDATE
I just experimented a bit with the Intellij interface but I can't seem to see the right hand side bar. See
I had similar problem until I right-clicked the option in POM "Add as Maven Project".
Notice: IDEA 2019.2 and I couldn't even find Maven in "Tool Windows" of the (existing) project before it.
First, make sure you have enabled maven plugin in
File → Settings → Plugins → Maven Integration
If so and still the tool window is hidden then
go to View → Tool Windows → Maven Projects to open it.
For those stuck with this issue, enable View -> Tool Buttons.
Finally found the solution, right-click on the pom.xml file (parent pom.xml if it is a multi-module project) and hit "add as a maven project".
You can find the Maven Projects pane by going to Help > Find Action or press Ctrl + Shift + A and type in "Maven Projects". However I can't see it anywhere in the elaborate menu's.
I had the same problem with a maven project, the tab wasn't showing up and even in the View->Tool windows menu, there was no maven item.
After searching the internet i could not find a solution but then i looked in Intellij idea
and noticed a Even Log showing a number in a red circle, i clicked it and then read an error message:
Non-managed pom.xml file found:
Add as Maven Project
check out solution proposed by invzbl3, It might help.
Simple solution to see maven on intelliJ is go to your right click on your pom.xml and then click on Add as Maven project.
Very simple. NO PLUGINS.
Maven comes by default so you should press two times the shift key and write "maven".
Then import the maven project ".pom" and the bar cames automatically after selecting the pom.
The question asked is how to show the sidebar, not show the Maven Plugin. On my version of Intellij this is enabled with the following:
View -> Appearance -> Tool Window Bars
if you have a pom file in your project, right click the file, click "add as maven project"
This got it back for me. None of the other solutions worked. I had no warnings for unmanged poms, toggling toolbars did not help and the maven option just where it should be anywhere!
It's a bit late, but I had the same problem with missing sidebars. At least in IDEA 2017.3 there is an icon on the bottom left of the screen that toggles the sidebars. That's how I got it back.
Right-click on your project > Add Framework Support > Maven
If View → Tool Windows → Maven Projects doesnt work that means tools button is deselected
go to View -> Tool Buttons and select it . You should be able to Maven window now
Try with File-->Project structure --> Modules-> Remove Parent/existing modules and add parent/all modules again
None above helped.
In my case I had to ad Java SDK. It keeps disappearing for some reason.
Right click on project folder -> Open Module settings -> Project in this window define SDK under SDK:
Maven toolbar appeared after doing that.
Weird but this works at times:
Disable File → Settings → Plugins → Maven Integration first and restart Intellij. Then re-enable it back and restart - this might fix the issue.
Enable maven plugin first in
File → Settings → Plugins → Maven
Also, make sure you enable Tool Buttons in
View → Tool Buttons
Check if at the bottom line of Intellij, it says "non-managed pom files found."
You can then "Add as a Maven Project"
Make sure your Maven plugin is enabled as well. In my case, it was disabled for an unknown reason. To enable it: Settings → Plugins → Installed (Scroll down to Bundled section)
If you not use Maven, can delete it.
open ProjectName.iml file in root of project of module.
then remove "org.jetbrains.idea.maven.project.MavenProjectsManager.isMavenModule="true"" from file.
save and reBuild project.
Looks like my maven integration plugin got disabled.
Go to IntelliJ Idea --> Preferences
and enable Maven integration plugin.
Looks like Intellij Idea disables dependent plugin also, when one of the plugins are disabled.
Make sure that the home directory of the project is correct. I was creating Intellij project one level above the actual maven project folder and that's why the maven tool window wasn't showing.
No Need to do any settings i have attached the image of intelij in that marked area click on that multi window suport then you will be able to access the panels for all
I have a maven project that I imported into Intellij. As libaries that are used by the project are changing, Intellij notifies me within the Java editor that "Some libraries have changed in the project. This may have change..." followed by 2 clickable options "Synchronize Dependencies" and "Enable Automatic Synchronization". Typically, I would "Enable Automatic Synchronization" but this particular project is no longer able to resolve any dependencies in the Java editor after I click "Enable Automatic Synchronization". The problem is that this particular project does not follow typical Maven standards for proper pom structure.
I would ultimately like to be able to disable this message, but I can't find the preference to do so. Does anyone know how to disable this message in Intellij?
Did you try this setting (Maven Import in Settings | Notifications)?
I downloaded an ASP.NET open source solution and opened it in Visual Studio 2010. VS is running as admin.
Everytime I switch the solution or a project from Active (Release) to Debug and uncheck 'Optimize code' and save, these changes don't stick. The solution or project reverts back to Active (Release).
Why is this happening?
You also have to change it in Configuration-Manager (see pictures).
I just had this exact issue. The solution ended up being:
Go to Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Make sure "Show All Settings" in the lower left is checked.
Then, in that same window, go to Projects and Solutions ⇒ General ⇒ check "Show advanced build configurations".
I have no idea why this checkbox was suddenly unchecked for me this morning, but this worked.
This is guessing a little, but anyways:
Most likely, you are using build configurations that don't include your start up project for Debug build.
Look for the 'Manage Build Configurations' (I think, no Windows machine nearby) menu item. It will show you a list of projects with tickboxes on the right to show whether it is to be built in the build configuration.
Switch to 'Debug' in that dialog and make sure your startup project - or the project that your starting the build for - is actually included in the build.
PS It is even entirely possible that the 'misbehaving' project is actually lacking a Debug build (it might have a deviant name, like DebugConsole or something else entirely). In that case, use the Project menu to add a build configuration of the proper name for that single project. Afterwards, check (again) that said build configurations are checked in the 'solution wide' build configuration dialog.
HTH
Changing the properties of a configuration doesn't change the current build configuration. If you open project properties, change from Release to Debug and make some changes, after exiting the dialog, you will build on the same platform as before. To change the platform you're building on, there is a combo-box right above the code - use that. You should have all available configurations in the list. When you open the project preferences dialog, the current configuration will be the default one in the dialog.
I opened the csproj file in a text editor. Noticed there were two PropertyGroup sections which look like duplicates, one was Debug|AnyCPU and the second was Release|AnyCPU. I deleted the second one and the debug one showed up.
Luchian Grigore's answer explains correctly one simple misconception that could lead to this problem and aaaaaaa's answer gives another way of correcting it: there is a dialog that looks like you are selecting the configuration to build but you are actually just selecting the configuration to configure.
However neither of their ways of opening the 'Configuration Manager' actually worked for me -- I had to click on the button configuration manager at the top right of the solution Properties.
(Note that the place where you choose the configuration is called Configuration Manager, whereas the place where you manage the configurations is Properties.)
