Yup, it's true. I suffer from this as well. When I'm compiling Cursive normal compilation fails because a bunch of the IntelliJ classes assume the IntelliJ platform is running and barf if it's not. I have an awful hack which is to run the compilation within their test framework which sets up a mock platform, but it's really ugly. I'd appreciate a clever workaround to this too. The other thing I've considered is to create a set of API classes to compile against which would be the standard classes with the static initialisers stripped out with ASM or something. In fact you could strip out everything but the signatures.
