Smart Java Beans 3.0 Ready IDE
for Error Free EJB Development I am playing around with IntelliJ IDEA 8.

The IDE kept crashing on me after building a project.

The problem did not occur any more after configuring the default JVM to J2SE 5.0 32-bit (with Java Preferences).
For some reasons I had changed that to Java SE 6 64-bit ...

I am using: OSX Leopard 10.5.5 and IntelliJ IDEA IDEA 8 build #9013

This could be the same problem as reported here. But I did not test the suggested solution (delete growl.jar).
