We’ve launched a new live show on the IntelliJ IDEA channel – Coffee Club! It’s a show where JetBrains Java Advocates come together to talk about topics they’re passionate about, such as Java, development, technical careers, and much more. The first episode of Coffee Club is now up on YouTube, so feel free to watch it if you haven’t yet! In the first episode of Coffee Club, JetBrains

Welcome to the September edition of our monthly Java-related news! I am taking over the torch from Trisha to bring you the monthly round-up of all the important Java news you need to know. I feel curious and nervous all at the same time. The main insight I had while compiling this blog post is that the Java community is inspiring and very active with lots of events, news, and interesting opinions

Apparently it's been three whole months since I, Helen, last had the pleasure of editing Java Annotated Monthly. I do feel that time is passing differently since the pandemic. Then again, I'm constantly surprised that it's not March 2020. Right, on to the show! First up, IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 has been released!

Take a look at some true gems of the IDE you thought you knew so well.

In this blog, we’re going to take a look at the Feature Trainer in IntelliJ IDEA.

Sometimes your app works, but you want to increase performance by boosting its throughput or reducing latency. Other times, you just want to know how code behaves at runtime, determine where the hot spots are, or figure out how a framework operates under the hood. Some of these details can be provided at design time, as IntelliJ IDEA provides you with all sorts of clues that can be produced static

We'd like to introduce you to our fresh new IntelliJ IDEA Guide! We've been working on this in the background for a few months now by collecting tips and even taking some of our screencasts from YouTube and turning them into tutorials for our guide.

The JetBrains Marketplace has plenty of plugins with useful features that can address your personal or business-specific needs. The library is enormous, and it can be a bit easy to get lost. In this blog post, we’ll share our recent and all-time favorite plugins. We are also curious about what plugins you love, so plea

It included a custom inspection with an avatar based on one of my very dear friends, Chandra Guntur, posted by another dear friend, Sirisha Pratha: This was a perfect opportunity for me to invite Sirisha to talk about how she has been customizing IntelliJ

We’ve brought a brand new feature to JetBrains Marketplace – Plugin Ideas! It’s a place for sharing ideas for plugins and functionality missing from IntelliJ-based IDEs.
