The IntelliJ community just hasn't caught up with the Eclipse community in terms quantity and quality of plugins available.
I don't know how many plugins I thought would be cool, download and try and configure it no doco and buggy configuration forms to not get any results.
So in disgust I thought I'd look at debugging some, so I had a look at jetstyle, it was bugging me that it didn't work and the cvs version looked like it should work in 4.5.
http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginTesting had some tips for debugging in IntelliJ, I wrote some unix scripts for option 1, it didn't work very cleanly but it does run.
After all of that it was easy to see a problem at configuration time and then a problem at run checkstyle execution, I just had to remove our Custom Checkstyle Rule and hey presto it worked. It would be nice if they could support that and do a release for 4.5, it's been along time between releases for the jetstyle project.
The PSIViewer plugin is very cool and would be worth looking at if you are thinking about writing a plugin.
