IntelliJ IDEA equivalent of Eclipse's launching external tools?
Answered
In Eclipse, there is a feature where you can start a debug server, launch an external exe and attach the debugger to that, for example using pydevd like
pydevd.settrace('localhost', port=5678)
Does intellij have a similar feature? I've tried the 'External Tool' function in in Intellj but I dont see the stdout output. It launches the program and then I see "Process finished with exit code 0" in the console whereas in Eclipse I can see the console output.

External tool output should be shown in the console. It's likely that the tool you launch produces no output. There is a checkbox to open console for output, make sure it's enabled:
