Fixing IntelliJ IDEA after install of Yosemite (IntelliJ IDEA quit unexpectedly)
If your IDEA fails to open after you've switched to OSX 10.10, with error like this
And error message in report says something like
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _CGContextSetAllowsAcceleration
Referenced from: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_41-b02-445.jdk/Contents/Libraries/libawt.jnilib
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices
Open your /Applications/{YOUR_IDEA}/Contents/Info.plist
file and point to a newer java by changing
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.6*</string>
to
<key>JVMVersion</key>
<string>1.7+</string>
If you have blurry UI on your retina device, update to the latest 1.7 version or get a 1.8 and set above as 1.8+
