Java is more vibrant than ever before. Its shorter release cadence lets us all try out its new language or platform features, every six months.

I didn’t cover other Java 19 features like Virtual threads, a preview API, intentionally. IntelliJ IDEA supports basic syntax highlighting for Virtual Threads and the team is working on adding support

QA and test engineering are essential parts of modern software development. At JetBrains, we believe using the right tool matters for every job.

This type of debugging is also very accessible because you don’t need any special tools for it. You just insert print statements into your source code and see how it operates at runtime. This practice can reveal suboptimal routines, inconsistent state problems, synchronization issues, and more: If you are a fan of this approach, then this post is for you. We will be looking at some of the features IntelliJ IDEA provides that can im
