Answer 1

1. Install the JDK
   • OSX download: https://developer.apple.com/downloads
   • Windows download: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
2. Add src.jar path
   1. Go to: Project Structure (Project Settings) > Platform Settings > SDKs > Sourcepath
   2. Add the path to src.jar
      • OSX example: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_45-b06-451.jdk/Contents/Home
      • Windows example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03 (check Program (x86) for 32-bit)
   3. Wait a long time for indexing!
3. Remove debugger filter
   1. Go to: Settings > Debugger > Stepping
   2. Uncheck the package(s) you want, e.g. javax.*
