Running/Programming Processing with IntelliJ

Bird

Okay, I've downloaded IntelliJ and have followed a simple (but outdated) tutorial on how to set up a sketch. Well, I got that far and loaded in the Rotate example using the basic skeleton:

import processing.core.PApplet;

public class Rotate extendes PApplet {

  public void setup() {}

  public void draw() {}

}

and it ran and everything! I had to change some values from 0.1 to 0.1f.

Anyway, I know there is going to be a little bit of a learning curve with it, but I am wondering if anyone else out there is using IntelliJ and what advice/warnings/conventions/syntax/tutorials/references/plugins/etc anyone might know of and share. I've used Visual Studio in the past and I really like the code folding and the intellisense stuff.

Thanks.

I suggest to have a look at the Processing in Eclipse tutorial. It is about a different IDE, but it also talks about the differences between pure Processing and Java (floats, color type, etc.).

That looks helpful, thanks.
