yea for no more InstallAnywhere on OS X
Great job on providing a single application bundle for OS X!
Now to just distribute the app as an internet-enabled disk image as opposed to a stuffit archive :)
Please sign in to leave a comment.
And how do I start IDEA now? Just double clicking the .app file seems to start the application for about 1 second and then it's gone.

Yes, right. "Content/MacOS/idea" did not have execute rights. Thanks for the hint.
By the way, I am new to MacOS. On Windows I used to set -Xms and -Xmx to some values higher than the default ones in the idea.lax file (384 MB for example). How is this done on MacOS? Or don't you have to worry about memory settings on MacOS?
Control-click on IDEA and select "Show Package Contents". Then open Contents/Info.plist
Then its Root/Java/VMOptions.

Or a zip or gzip archive, since they are supported by 10.3 natively now.
(Zip is at least. I assume gzip is too.)
Stuffit format is so old fashioned. (Plus, Aladdin, the company that
makes Stuffit, has gotten progressively more lame over the years. Now
you have to download a 9 MB file just to get Stuffit Expander. Try doing
that over a modem! Yeeech.)

Execute rights for "Content/MacOS/idea" fixed in build 1096.
I'm sorry for inconvenience.

Also, how about moving the settings out of "~/.IntelliJIdea/config/" and
into "~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA/" and the system caches out of
"/.IntelliJIdea/system/" and into "/Library/Caches/IntelliJ IDEA/" ?
Here's a list of all the special directories in the ~/Library directory
on Mac OS X:

that's apple's document on creating them. You can create a disk image using 'Disk Copy', or the 'hdiutil' command-line tool

I don't believe so.
However, you could get creative :)
You can share out a folder via SMB from your Mac to your windows clients. Additionaly, there is something known as "folder actions", which is basically an AppleScript that works on a folder and processes files as they are placed in there. You could construct your application bundle on the windows machine, copy it to the mac, which has a folder action to create the DMG, and then copy it back (either having the mac push it out to the windows machine or have the windows machine pick it up in a different location)

I'd be happy with a zip file. But I'd definitely vote against Stuffit
format.
Hey, while you're changing things to be more Mac-like, how about a more
Mac-like icon for IDEA?
Here's what Apple has to say about application icons:
