Google App Engine Java development on IntelliJ?

Annoyingly, Google App Engine has become another one of those projects where they only release plugins for Eclipse (like Spring Webflow) and I just much prefer IntelliJ. Can you run the local test environment successfully with IntelliJ? And debug/deploy a local or live application? If so, are there any features missing that are in the Eclipse version?

Yes, you can configure IntelliJ to run the local app engine. There is a blog entry with step by step instructions.

The differences between the Eclipse plugin

  • Doesn't launch browser
  • Didn't auto magically run the data nucleus enhance
  • No deploy to Google button.

You can work around the data nucleus enhance by making your run target depend on the datanucleusenhance ant task. The other two were so minor, I haven't bothered to automate them.
