How to setup Equinox OSGI framework in IntelliJ IDEA 2018.1 on Mac OS

I have an existing Eclipse project using Equinox OSGI framework that has an existing OSGI.launch run configuration that I want to launch using IntelliJ. I'd ideally like IntelliJ to create a run configuration based out of this. But as I did not find any readymade solution, I installed Osmorc plugin and am trying to setup Equinox OSGI framework instance but even though I specified the plugins/eclipse directory, I keep getting an error- IDEA cannot find the Equinox framework system bundle in /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/plugins/eclipse. Please check your installation.

How do I set it up and can't IntelliJ figure out the directory itself or offer to download and setup the Equinox OSGI framework if missing.

If not too late, I am also trying to create an equinox project on IntelliJ because eclipse always crashes after a new plugin. Here is what I found:

  • Download equinox framework from here.
  • From project settings (Ctrl+Alt+S) -> Languages & Frameworks -> OSGI Framework Instances -> + (Plus) sign at the right side of the opened frame. -> Choose Equinox
  • Reference downloaded folder.

That way you can use equinox.

And you should also add jar files as lib so that you can import them.
