I have searched but not found an exact answer for my question even though I tried all the possibilities. Is it possible to create a Java EE project with Intellij Community edition?
I don't see Java enterprise option.
You can try to switch to Ultimate version with special offers. For example if you are student you can ask for free Ultimate account.
But in general community edition does not support Java EE project creation.
You can check this article for more information.
Please view the IDEA version comparsion
The Community does not support Java EE.

Now that OAT (open admin tool) for Informix no longer appears in the Informix installation package, has IBM or the community abandoned it? Is this still an active project? I have not found a strightforward answer to this question. Any good alternatives? Thanks.
You can still get Informix OpenAdmin Tool as part of the IBM Informix ClientSDK. However, you'll have to download an older version of the ClientSDK from IBM Passport Advantage. OAT will be deprecated at some point. The Informix development team is working on a alternative modern tool. Stay tuned and connected with the Informix community.
I have been doing some programming in VB.NET on Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop. I recently started looking into F# and like the functional paradigm. As a result I have been trying to find a way to use VSE2015 as my IDE for F#. However, I have hit some problems. First of all, it has been difficult to find out if it is officially supported. The .NET blog suggests that it is (at least version 3.1.1, and the announcement for 4.0 RTM does not mention otherwise), but when I try to install F# Tools (4.0) it seems to choke on some components called VWD and WD(?). 3.1.1 seems to install OK, but then I still can't open any F# projects (fsproj). When I try to install FSharpVSPowerTools, it tells me that my platform is not supported.
Am I trying to do something that is not possible? Have I missed some steps? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
(Incidentally, I can't use the Community edition because of the licensing restrictions)
Edit: I have tried VS Code, but it works differently from VSE, and I would have to do a whole more learning. In addition, I want to use the VS template for creating XLL's. Edit 2: it has been pointed out that you can reference excel-dna in VS Code, but setting it up is not as straightforward as in VSE2015 (at least for VB.NET and C#.NET.
I have searched in Internet, but I only found information about Intellij IDEA Ultimate Edition.
Well, as stated in Intellij Idea's comparision matrix Java EE frameworks, such as Servlets, JSP, JSF, Web Services, CDI, Bean Validation, Web Beans, etc. are supported only in Ultimate Edition.
So the answer is JSF is not supported. In order to use CE for this technology you would have to configure everything on your own. I would suggest you to use other IDE, like Eclipse or Netbeans.
I know that developing with Ruby on Rails in Windows is not always easy, and I read lots of complaints that it just isn't fully compatible with Windows.
Is grails the same? Does it matter whether I dev on Windows/Linux/OSX?
Thanks!
Use the OS that you prefer. I've been developing Grails apps on Windows at work (because I have to) for a few years. Outside of work I use Linux exclusively.
Where I am, people use Linux and Windows to develop in Grails. There has been no problem regarding OS specific stuff.
In fact you should be more concerned about the Java flavor and version you have (some linux distros have an open source implementation), and, of course, the Grails version.
My advices:
Pick any OS you want (I even use both on the same Grails project with no problems)
Try to use the Oracle JDK (for me openJDK is a bit slower)
Pick a Grails version and stick to it as much as you can (preferably don't change the version it can be painful to upgrade a project)
I developed Grails apps on Windows and Linux. IMHO, use the OS you'll be the most productive with and has the toolset you want. Linux is definitively more friendly to programmers in terms of available tools in general. Windows developer community is coming up with interesting project such as Chocolatey and Console2 among other things. I personally prefer Linux because it offers me a lot more to learn besides just learning Grails for example.
I would like to play around with F# on my Linux box, but I struggle to find up-to-date versions of the relevant files. The F# cross-platform packages are from 2010 and the plug-in seems to be for Monodevelop 2.4 (I have 2.8 installed, which is not the newest anyway...). Is the project still alive? Am I looking at the right place?
F# cross-platform package is pretty outdated. Depending on which Linux distro you're using, F# may be distributed with Mono 2.10.x (check Mono homepage for details). Otherwise, you should build F# compiler from source for latest version.
The original F# binding does not work with MonoDevelop 2.8. Fortunately, the F# binding is being actively developed by Scott Stephens under a Google Summer of Code project. There are first positive sights as being mentioned here. For discussion, you can post on F# Open Source Community Group or ask questions here.
The F# addin for Monodevelop is still developed as of 2014 and is available from addins.monodevelop.com.
