  • Software Company HashiCorp Is Weighing a Potential Sale

    Also, no BuSL stupidity, they're all Apache 2 AFAIK: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23...

    And the "all you can eat" toolbox license is just a staggeringly good deal, IMHO, which also comes with a "you can keep your license forever, just no updates" which is way different from setting subscription-based licensing money on fire when your license expires. Whoever came up with that should be applauded because it really drives down my "what about" anxiety of paying subscription money for IDEs

  • How to Develop an IntelliJ Plugin: A DIY Guide to Adding Drag and Drop with Custom DataFlavors
    3 projects | dev.to | 29 Jan 2024
    There is quite a bit going on in our view’s class, so we'll take it slow and go through its functions one by one, according to their importance. The first thing we need to do is to create the structure our items will fit into. com.intellij.ui.treeStructure.Tree seems to best match our needs, and that’s what we’ll use. In order to prepare it for what is coming, we need to configure it.
  • Operation K. Looking for bugs in the IntelliJ IDEA code

    I think it's time to wrap it up. We've made a pull request to the IDEA developers, and I've accomplished the tasks I set out to do. I'm really happy to help the developers of my favorite IDE.

    I consider the JetBrains parsing system to be world class and they seem to hand-write very few (instead building on this system: https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit#readme )

  • Just paying Figma $15/month because nothing else fucking works
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Oct 2023
    I had the same experience with OmniGraffle, https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle

    It just worked. There was support. I wouldn't dig a hole in the ground with my bare hands, why wouldn't I use good tools. Of course I would like to use F/OSS for various reasons.

    The model I absolutely love is Jetbrains, their core product is OSS, Apache licensed. The whole thing, totally usable. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

    The money I send their way does both, it pays for developers and it puts an amazing artifact in the world that others can use and learn from. If they weren't open source, I wouldnt pay for it. I don't know how many others are the same as me, but Jetbrains really deserves credit here.

    2 projects | dev.to | 16 Apr 2024
    For these demonstrations, I'm using IntelliJ IDEA, equipped with the Kotlin Notebook plugin and all necessary dependencies. If you’d like to follow along step-by-step, I recommend setting up your environment similarly. Here is a short installation guide.

  • Kotlin and Azure Functions - Automating the deployment
    2 projects | dev.to | 16 Mar 2024
    Being somewhat allergic to coding in Java (this is a personal thing, if you like Java then good for you) I decided to try out writing the code using Kotlin from JetBrains instead. I'm already using IntelliJ as I work with Apache Spark using Scala, so the tooling was already there and ready to go for this.
  • Groovy 🎷 Cheat Sheet - 01 Say "Hello" from Groovy
    7 projects | dev.to | 7 Mar 2024
    IntelliJ (look for the community edition) on the other hand offered great out-of-box Groovy support including IntelliSence, building, and running features. So, I sticked with it 😊
