How can I stop the IntelliJ icon in the dock from bouncing, without turning off bouncing for all applications

Use case on a Mac: you type a variable name into IntelliJ, and switch to the Java API to find out what you need to do. IntelliJ detects a compile error and starts bouncing its icon in the dock. Over and over. IT WILL NEVER STOP!

Does anyone out there have a solution that does not involve:

  1. Turning off all bouncing in the dock
  2. Turning off automatic syntax checking/compilation in IntelliJ

Invoke Find Action from the Help menu (Command+Shift+A) and search for Registry in the popup that appears. Disable the ide.appIcon.requestAttention option in the Registry dialog (you can type in the dialog to search for this key). Be careful with the other configuration options, because it is possible to break your IntelliJ IDEA installation with an incorrect setting.
