Question

Can I see the exact commands IntelliJ uses to build a java project?

Answer 1

Look in ~/Library/Logs/IdeaIC13/build-log. You can turn on ALL debugging in build-log.xml in this directory. When you build inside IDEA, it writes a log to build.log in this directory.

Answer 2

I don't think you can get the output of a build directly, but you can view and edit the compiler options IntelliJ uses, in the Compiler tab of the Settings dialog.

Answer 3

CTRL-F9

for all key commands you can check ( and print) the keymap, its available in hte help tab.

Answer 4

IDEA is not running java binary, so there is no way to see the commands. Instead, IDEA uses Java compiler API directly. If you want a raw representation of what is done to build the project, you can use Build | Generate Ant build. Examine the build file or run it from the command line via Ant to see what happens and what options/commands are invoked.

Answer 5

If you run a certain run configuration, check the output console (Ctrl+0) For example, it shows something like:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22\bin\java" -Didea.launcher.port=7532 "-Didea.launcher...

Process finished with exit code 0

The first line is the command for building and running the module...
