I am not really sure if the title give the best impression of what I am asking.

 

I want to develop a mod using IntelliJ but when looking on how to setup my dev environment I came across this part on the Forge wiki.

 

Many thanks to Democre for this fix - the original source can be found here in his post on the Forge forums.

For some reason, FML tries to classload the Java runtime JAR, which is on the classpath along with any mods you write. This would be fine, except it throws an error while trying to parse it. For an error-free runtime log, open the JarDiscoverer class by pressing Ctrl + N or navigating to cpw.mods.fml.common.discovery.JarDiscoverer.java in the project explorer. Insert the following lines of code into this file (the first and last lines shown here are for context only and should already exist):

42    jar = new JarFile(candidate.getModContainer());

43

44    // TODO: Remove these lines for distribution build:

45    // *** START INTELLIJ FIX ***

46    if (jar.getName().endsWith("rt.jar")) return foundMods;

47    // *** END INTLELIJ FIX ***

48   

49    if ( ..

Don't forget to remove these lines before running the MCP scripts to build, obfuscate and package your mod for distribution.

 

I was just wondering if this quirk still exists or if it has been patched. If not there another way to get IntelliJ to run forge without generating a bunch of errors related to the above?

Hi

 

To be honest I think the cure is worse than the disease.  I just ignore those errors, doesn't make any difference to whether my mods work properly or not.
