Is it possible to embed external applications in Intelli-J panel?
已回答
As a former Eclipse user, it was possible for me to open arbitrary applications (e.g. Word, Excel, WinZip) within my workspace.
If I recall correctly, this was using OLE (Object Linking and Emedding) objects.
Currently, I am developing Elixir applications and would like to embed the console (the one opened with "iex --werl") into my IntelliJ Idea workspace.
Is there any way to do this?

It is not possible with IntelliJ IDEA. Consider using External Tools.
Andrey Dernov,
Thanks for the response.
I'm not sure if that is what I am looking for.
This seems to be just something we can use to "view the output produced by the tool".
However, I actually want to be able to interact with the erlang application.
The problem I currently face isn't launching the tool, but rather juggling windows, whereas normally the window for iex (if launched with the --werl option) will be buried, or at least mean I need to juggle which applications are appearing on my screens and where. (If I launch without --werl, it could live in my terminal, but it is less convienent to interact with since various keyboard shortcuts are not supported on windows.)
