Setup To configure IntelliJ IDEA to work with AWS, we need to install the AWS Toolkit for IntelliJ IDEA plugin and configure th

Spring Data JPA is a powerful framework that allows users to easily interact with their database while minimizing boilerplate code. We've created a new tutorial on the IntelliJ IDEA Guide to help you get started using Spring Data JPA in your applications. You'll learn about Spring Data JPA by creating a simple Spring Boot application that uses Spring Data JPA to read and write from a database. Tutorial: Getting Started with Spring Data JPA This new guide format breaks down the tutorial into individual sections with detailed steps, screenshots and code.

On April 21, 2021, we had the pleasure of hosting the live stream ‘Spring Boot Loves K8s’ by Madhura Bhave, one of the awesome software engineers on the Spring Boot Team. The code in this live stream can be accessed using this link. Session details In this live stream, Madhura demonstrated features introduced in Spring Boot 2.3 and later versions that improved developing and deploying Spring Boot applications to Kubernetes. She covered four main improvements: building efficient container images, liveness and readiness probes, graceful shutdown and loading ConfigMaps and Secrets. To demonst

Co-Author: Rudy De Busscher, Payara In this blog, we’re going to look at how to use Payara Server with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. We’ll cover how to create a simple web application that runs on a Payara server. We’ll also explore some of the features available to help you develop your enterprise applications. Payara Server Support in IntelliJ IDEA IntelliJ IDEA provides great tooling for developing with Payara servers. By default, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate comes with the Glassfish plugin installed and enabled. You can use the Glassfish plugin to start, stop and debug Payara servers along with other

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) has gone through a major transformation and is now Jakarta EE. One of the most significant changes impacting developers is the namespace change from javax to jakarta. If you're new to JPA or creating new JPA applications, you might be wondering how to create your persistence applications. Your two options are: Create your new applications using the new jakarta namespace (Jakarta Persistence 3.0). Create your new applications using the existing javax namespace (JPA 2.2 and earlier). If you're writing a new application, you might think that option 1 is the ob

In this blog, we're going to look at how to create a simple JPA application in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. JPA allow you to store, access and manage Java objects in a relational database. If you want to create a Jakarta Persistence application with the new jakarta namespace, checkout this version of the blog or watch this video. Creating a new JPA Project First, we'll create a new project in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate by clicking on the New Project button in the Welcome screen. We'll select Java Enterprise from the left menu which allows us to take advantage of the enterprise framework support provid
