you aren't the first one to wonder about natives on alternative IDEs.

Thank you very much Dario, I am now running Processing + OpenGL + GLGraphics in Intellij IDEA (Mac OSX). Exciting!

In case anyone runs into the same problem...

Steps:
1) Added the 3 opengl .jar files under /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/modes/java/libraries/opengl/library to the library path of my project.
2) Copied the 4 opengl .jnilib files (OS specific native libraries) from /Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/modes/java/libraries/opengl/library/macosx to a folder I created in my project source /Users/MyUserName/Documents/Playground/ProcessingIdeaTests/lib/native
3) Instructed my debug configuration to point to that folder containing the native libraries using an absolute path as Dario has instructed. -Djava.library.path="/Users/MyUserName/Documents/Playground/ProcessingIdeaTests/lib/native"

Additionally, you can add this line to your code to check the location that you are setting: System.err.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path"));

If you manage to point your run configuration to your system specif native libraries (jnilib in mac, dll in windows, etc) in the way described in the steps above, it should run without any troubles.

hth,

you can also add the needed natives to System/Library/Java/Extensions Folder
if that folder doesn't exist create it, and never worry for the natives in any IDE any more.

1) Create a fresh Java project (module) with no additional frameworks (no web module or Spring etc.).  I use Java 7 and SDK 1.7, which you can set either initially or afterwards with File>Project Structure>Project>Project SDK=1.7, Project Language Level=7 (Browse to Java SDK and Java).

2) Add processing lib:

                a) Add a folder named 'lib' on the same level as source ('src'). Right/select click on project root/base and choose New>Directory.

                b) Download and extract a version of Processing appropriate to your O.S.

                c) Copy all the jars from 'core' (for example ...downloads...\processing-2.0b7\core\library\ ) to your 'lib' folder outside of IntelliJ IDEA (Windows Explorer or what you Maclix folks use).

                d) Right/select click on your new 'lib' folder in IntelliJ and click 'Add As Library'

                e) Wait... if prompted, agree to things without changing anything.  It should happen by itself in a somewhat automagical fashion.  Watch the bottom notification area and wait until the spinny gif stops spinning.

3) In your 'src' folder, add a new Class.  Name it 'MyProcessingSketch ' and overwrite the contents with the code from 'http://processing.org/learning/eclipse/':

              import processing.core.*;

public class MyProcessingSketch extends PApplet {

  public void setup() {

    size(200,200);

    background(0);

  }

 

  public void draw() {

    stroke(255);

    if (mousePressed) {

      line(mouseX,mouseY,pmouseX,pmouseY);

    }

  }

}
