It's becoming more and more common to run the applications you’re developing in Docker containers or on remote machines, rather than in your local environment. Wouldn’t it be handy to run, test, and debug applications remotely without leaving IntelliJ IDEA? Well, our new Run Targets feature makes this possible. Please note this is an initial version of Run Targets. We plan to make it better in future releases, so we would really appreciate your feedback on this feature. Terminology and workflow A target is a configured environment where the IDE will execute your code, for example, in a Docke

Update 12 of the Big Data Tools plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, and DataGrip has been released. You can install it from the JetBrains Plugin Repository or from inside your IDE. The plugin allows you to edit Zeppelin notebooks, upload files to cloud filesystems, and monitor Hadoop and Spark clusters. In this release, we've added experimental Python support and global search inside Zeppelin notebooks. We’ve also addressed a variety of bugs. Let's talk about the details. Experimental and preliminary Python support Although PySpark in Zeppelin is getting a lot of attent

Register now and join us for a live webinar on 'Java, Containers and IntelliJ IDEA'. In this webinar, Java Champion Elder Moraes will talk about the advantages and challenges of using Java with containers, and how to navigate them, including hands-on demonstrations with IntelliJ IDEA. Day: Thursday Date: December 17, 2020 Time: 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm CET (more…)

IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2 introduces new Docker and Kubernetes features that simplify day-to-day work and offer more flexibility with customization. Let’s have a more in-depth look at the updates in this release. Docker Use Selenoid for cross-browser testing of web applications Selenoid (available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate) is an implementation of the Selenium hub for Docker, which allows you to execute automated tests on web browsers running in Docker containers. For each test, Selenoid creates a container with the specified web browser, environment, and settings. With IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2 an

As you are developing your awesome software, you probably need to create a bunch of run/debug configurations, including some for application servers. You also might need several Docker containers to test your code in various environments, maybe a container with a database as your backend, and a console to see what is going on in the database. All of these “entities” serve different purposes and were previously managed via dedicated tool windows. IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 introduces the Services tool window to combine everything in one place: View | Tool Windows | Services or press Alt + 8 (on Windo

The Docker integration enables you to build or pull Docker images and run Docker containers directly from IntelliJ IDEA. You can use special run configurations to run your application in a Docker container and see how it will behave in an environment identical to production. But what about debugging? Well, starting from version 2019.1 you can debug Java applications running in Docker containers directly from IntelliJ IDEA. (more…)

In IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3 the Docker integration has had a lot of changes made to it, both big and small. What does this really entail though? Let’s find out! First of all, there are improvements to the Run/Debug Configurations dialog. Now you have the choice of three types of Docker Run Configurations: Docker Image Dockerfile Docker-compose (more…)

Finally, the holidays are over and it's time to get back to work. We hope you've already had a chance to try IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1 EAP. If not, there's one more reason to do it now: a freshly published EAP build. Along with the usual bugfixes it brings a handful of quite interesting novelties. Docker plugin now supports Docker for Mac (via "unix://"). Support for Windows (via "npipe://") is almost there with certain limitations. Spring support is becoming better with coding assistance for Spring MVC's path attribute: And with the support for Spring Testing (up to Spring 5.0) and

Last week, in partnership with Couchbase, we hosted a webinar focused around Docker. Arun Gupta, a Java Champion and Docker Captain, gave a solid overview of Docker and the IntelliJ IDEA's plugin for working with it. The slides from Arun’s presentation can be found at GitHub. Don't worry if you missed the webinar. You can watch it right now: https://youtu.be/IgJXYU3GOM4 In case you want to jump directly to a topic you're most interested in, here're a few links: What's Docker Docker Mission How to Build with Docker Docker Workflow Docker Machine Docker Machine Providers

Join us Thursday, May 26th, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT (New York) / 18:00 – 19:00 CEST (Berlin) (check other time zones) for our free live webinar Docker for Java Developers, featuring Arun Gupta. Docker is the developer-friendly container technology that enables creation of your application stack: OS, JVM, app server, app, database and all your custom configuration. So you are a Java developer but how comfortable are you and your team getting started with Docker? Docker provides PODA (Package Once Deploy Anywhere) and complements WORA (Write Once Run Anywhere) provided by Java. It also helps you

As developers, we can all agree that shipping code should be easy. Whether deploying to a local testing or staging server, our laptop, or a Unix box halfway around the world, builds should be portable, predictable and (mostly) painless. But sometimes it seems like shipping code is half the battle - we spend countless hours configuring the infrastructure instead of delivering critical updates to our users. Docker is one solution to this problem, and now on IntelliJ IDEA 14.1, shipping code with Docker has never been easier. (more…)
