Today I have started working offsite using a vpn connection to get access to the companies network. Unfortunately I start my work with intellij not wanting to startup. The splashscreen gets stuck with a loader appearing saying "compacting indices". Google is not helping out a lot. I'm thinking moving back to eclipse. Has anybody experienced this problem before? Please see attachement.enter image description here

    do you see any exception in intellij log file ? (log file is probably here : $USER_HOME/.IntelliJIdea12/system/log/idea.log or a similar location depending on the version of IntelliJ) How long did you wait ? – ben75 Sep 11 '13 at 11:52
  • Timo, how did it go? Did you see my suggestion in my answer below to manually clear the `caches` folder and force them to be rebuilt? – vikingsteve Sep 11 '13 at 13:35
  • Could it be something to do with the proxy settings? Would you know whether you need to enable/add a proxy to get to the work network ? – Ashutosh Jindal Sep 11 '13 at 14:47

Does this help: File menu -> Invalidate Caches... ?

Also are you on latest and greatest, 12.1.4 ?

Or how about deleting (actually, moving them, to keep as backup) the caches manually?

c:\Users\{user}\.IntelliJIdea12\system\caches

  • Since IntelliJ didn't start... it's difficult to access the File menu ;-) – ben75 Sep 11 '13 at 11:53
