Open a file in Intellij from the command line

There is a plugin (which may or may not be up-to-date for 5.0) called
"System Tools" which should do what you want
If it isn't up-to-date dial 1-800-Alexey-Efimov

Thank you for your reply.

Have tried it and it doesn't work.

Here's the line that have executed to use the plugin:
============================
java -classpath systemTools.jar org.intellij.systemTools.fileLoader.Main D:\dev\allArticles.txt
============================

The file exists, intellij is up and running, no error message is displayed, and the file is not opened in Intellij.

Would appreciate your help.

Any idea why it doesn't work?

thank you,

When last I looked, this plugin works by having idea listen for
connections on a port. The executable part then sends your file path (not
the file itself) to it so that it can be opened by the IDE.

I don't remember which port uses (its hard-coded) but it could be
conflicting with something else or you could have it locked down. You can
get the source for the plugin and take a look.
