Here are five specific features that make the Micronaut IntelliJ IDEA combo a terrific tool for any developer looking to boos

IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 EAP has just been updated. The new build can render Javadocs right in the editor and enables you to create and split terminal sessions, vertically or horizontally, multiple times. In-editor Javadocs rendering Split terminal sessions vertically/horizontally In-editor Javadocs rendering Reading Javadocs in the editor might be annoying because of all the tags you have to cut through, especially when you need to interact with the reference links and images. This is why we’re adding a way to render Javadocs right in the editor. To enable this new experimental feature, g

We have Java Dataflow Analysis (DFA), which is able to derive facts about your program: possible exceptions, conditions that are always true/always false, and more. It performs an abstract interpretation of the source code, allowing it to gather information about the code execution before the code is executed. However, it knows almost nothing about the inputs to the code. Well technically, if the method parameter is annotated as `@NotNull` the analysis trusts this annotation and assumes that `null` cannot appear here, but this is only a tiny bit of information. On the other hand, we have th

We’d like to unveil some of our current efforts to improve IntelliJ IDEA and the other IDEs based on the IntelliJ Platform. The results of these efforts are going to be released over the next year, some as soon as in the 2020.1 release in the spring. They are centered around two main themes: performance and support for modern development workflows. Performance Indexing Performance Two of the main pain points related to the performance of our IDEs are startup performance (a tool that takes a long time to start is perceived as heavyweight) and indexing speed. We did a lot to speed up startup
