IntelliJ IDEA Run Java Application

JAVA,

Tomcat in Intellij Idea Community Edition

Intellij Community does not offer Java application server integration. Your alternatives are

  1. buying Intellij licence,
  2. switching to Eclipse 😉
  3. installing IDEA Jetty Runner plugin https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7505
  4. running the application server from Maven, Gradle, whatever, as outlined in the other answers.

I personally installed the Jetty Runner plugin (Jetty is fine for me, I do not need Tomcat) and I am satisfied with this solution. I had to deal with IntelliJ idea – Jetty, report an exception, though.
