+                    Working on the Kobalt code base with Intellij IDEA is very easy.

+                <h3 class="section" id="version" indent="1">Edit kobalt.version</h3>
+                <p>
+                    First of all, edit the file <code>src/main/resources/kobalt.properties</code> and set it
+                    to a nonexistent version. For example, if the current version is <code>0.399</code>,
+                    set it to <code>0.400</code>.
+                </p>
+                <pre class="brush:plain">
+                    kobalt.version=0.400
+                </pre>
+                <p>
+                    When you launch Kobalt from IDEA with a nonexistent version, Kobalt will show a message saying
+                    that it couldn't locate that version and instead, it will use the classes generated by IDEA. This
+                    way, you will always be running the files that you just modified with IDEA. On start up,
+                    Kobalt will display a message looking like:
+                </p>
+                <pre class="brush:plain">
+Couldn't find .../kobalt-0.400.jar, using ...
+                </pre>
+                <p>
+                    Note that at the moment, Kobalt expects to be located in <code>$HOME/kotlin/kobalt</code>.

+                <h3 class="section" id="launch_configuration" indent="1">Launch configuration</h3>
+                <p>Next, create a launch configuration in IDEA.</p>
                 <p>
                 Kobalt's main class is <code>com.beust.kobalt.MainKt</code>. Here is a typical launch configuration:
