This post is dedicated to Lua devs and game devs, specially those that decided to use Corona SDK as an application platform (more game SDK than app SDK).
The steps to follow are:
- Download and install IntelliJ Community Edition or pay for other versions (is not really necessary if you don't really need) from here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html
- Download Lua plugin for IntelliJ here http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea_ce&id=5055
- Now unzip Lua plugin and copy IDLua folder to intelliJ's plugin folder in a path like this C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 10.5\plugins (is very likely that your folder path is another one)
- Open IntelliJ and access Settings in the file menu or type Ctrl+Alt+S. In IDE Settings section you'll see the Plugins area, click it and check if Lua is listed on the right panel. If isn't appearing there try to install trough available list or follow this tutorial https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/lua-for-idea/wiki/Home
- Hey its done!!! When you start project creation you'll see Lua option in the list...
Now for Corona SDK
- Download the Corona SDK for IntelliJ here https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/idlua-sdk-corona/wiki/Home
- Unzip the package into a fixed place, this means that this folder (Corona SDK for IntelliJ) must remain there as long as you're using it with the IDE
- After creating the project you will work into select project's root and type F4 to access project structure.
- Here click in SDKs in Platform Settings section and in Lua sdk add a new Classpath, in this case the path to your Corona SDK fixed folder.
- Ready to rumble!!! Now you have intellisense for Corona code and the documentation (type ctrl+q to access it)
If you have any problems adding sdk's and api's follow the tutorials bellow or email me: vitor dot navarro87 at gmail dot com

Hi McLero, how you`re doing?
My spanish is not that good anymore, too much time without using it sorry.
It should not ask you for jdk, but if thats the case just grab one from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Pick Java SE 6 and for a smaller installation stick with JRE ok?
Did you got the latest possible build from Corona site?
Also try following their tutorial for building .apks http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/building-devices-android
If you got stuck on anything get back here and leave another comment.
