Hello Jóhann,

The plugins are stored under ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA80

You can go to that directory and delete the plugins manually.

I've just installed two plugins in IntelliJ 8M1: Log4j plugin and

Log4j monitor. After restart I get this error:

 

"Fatal error initializing class

com.intellij.util.xml.impl.DomApplicationComponent:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class

file. Complete error stack was written to idea.log"

 

How can I uninstall these plugins without starting IntelliJ?

 

I can't find idea.log anywhere.

 

I'm using MacOS Leopard. I've tried changing the default JDK several

times (tried 1.4.2, 1.5 and 1.6).

 

I'm wondering whether there is any kind of "safe mode" or command line

parameters that can be passed at startup to, at least, get the

environment running with minimal services.

 

Best regards,

Jóhann Geir

Dmitry and Johan:

I experienced the exact same problem with IDEA 8.1 on my Ubuntu Linux laptop. The problem disappears when the log4j plugin is removed. Is this not supported fully by IDEA 8? Also, under Linux, the plugins are stored in the directory: ~/.IntelliJIdea80/config/plugins. I have never had the pleasure of using this plugin, and can definitely understand its value if it is fully functional and supported by IDEA 8?

Thanks very much.

Hi,

I have been experiencing a similar for a while on my mac too with the latest version, 9.0.1 CE. As a result of this, I have not been able to run the IDE since. Uninstalling and re-installing had no effect.

The folder ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEAXX does not exist here. Same for idea.log.

The exact error message can be viewed here: http://i44.tinypic.com/2ewz1aq.png

Thanks.

Hello Beto,

I have just tried to install IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2 Release Candidate 2

(build 95.24), released on Apr 02, 2010 and I get the same error

message (http://i44.tinypic.com/2ewz1aq.png) on my mac snow leopard.

 

I suspect I have to  manually delete some intellij files, but I cannot

find any.

The problem is most likely caused by a plugin from IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate

that you have under IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. Please try reinstalling

IDEA in a clean directory and deleting the contents of ~/Library/Application

Support/IntelliJIdea90

Thanks for the tip Alex, but none of the folders/files listed there is existing on my system.

I have also made a search for the log file, using the OS search facilities, but could not locate it.

Thanks Paul,

Your suggestion - clearing the caches (C:\Documents and Settings\username\.IntelliJIdea90\system\caches on Windows) - seemed to help resolve the issue I was experiencing. The issue was the same, although the plugin was different.

I also had to delete the files in: C:\Documents and Settings\ckershaw\.IntelliJIdea90\system\plugins

Also of note: the IntelliJ process had to be killed via Windows Task Manager before a new one could start up cleanly.

Thanks again! Hope this assists someone else.

Colin
