Kevin, have you tried the Illuminated Cloud plugin for IntelliJ? It’s another alternative to the Force.com IDE that won’t require you to use an older version of Java. Very well maintained and it works much better than the Force.com IDE, IMO. Lots of info at http://www.illuminatedcloud.com/, good luck!

Thanks Justin, very helpful article, this helped me get my project up and running. A couple of links that others may find useful:
– Page to download the Legacy Java 6 runtime (though I found this to be unnecessary since 1.7 is fine, as you mentioned in the post): https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
– A shell function I use to make switching between JDKs easy: http://superuser.com/questions/490425/how-do-i-switch-between-java-7-and-java-6-on-os-x-10-8-2/568016#568016

Thanks again!

I’m not totally sure (I’ve been using Sublime Text + MavensMate or http://aside.io lately) but since it’s based on Eclipse I would think you could get it to work. Likely it’s the version of Java that ships with El Capitan, so installing the same version as is in this post and making sure to use it to start the IDE should work. Good luck!

Hi Justin, Not related to WSDL2APEX, but have you had any luck installing the Force.com IDE on El Capitan?
