building community source
One day in the not too distant past, (within the timeframe 13 has been available) I downloaded from github the Intellij source, followed the instructions and sucessfully built it. Yesterday, I did the exact same thing, downloading the source from the link provided at the instructions which are located here:
http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983225
. What was at that link had a different name. Instead of being named "intellij-community" it was named "intellij-community-master'. Also, what was at that link would not compile.. Basically (probably because paths were wrong ) it couldn't locate any of its libraries including anything starting with "com.intellij" or anything else for that matter.
Here's where the previously mentioned page linked me to
https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community
Given only what I've told you, does this make any sense to anyone? I am thinking that somehow everyone but me knows that anything with "master" in the name located in source control might not compile.
Thanks.

perhaps someone knows the opposite is true- i.e. that there's nothing about a "master" suffix which indicates or iplies "might not compile". Is that true?
It happend to me sometimes that master would not compile, but is generally ok, and the current one is ok.
You just need to properly setup JDK - add tools.jar, and click on Make (dunno why but clicking on Run would not do the magic).
Very useful information, thanks Vojtech.. I will try again tomorrow....
