🎥 Missed our livestream on UI freezes in JetBrains IDE plugins? In this livestream recording, we cover what causes freezes (yes, plugins too), how to spot them using thread dumps, and practical ways to fix them. Watch it here 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=Rrddst…

IntelliJ Platform News: If your plugin reacts to lots of file events, this VFS update is worth knowing about. I break down what changed, what the old EDT-coupled behavior was, and what the new background-capable listener APIs actually give you. youtube.com/shorts/4EfWxdn… Curious if you’d migrate your listeners.

Ok, I'm in: if you build a plugin for JetBrains IDEs, I can review your Gradle build script. I'll verify if caching works, introduce all those good practices, and even migrate it out of Groovy. Drop me your GitHub repo, and I'll pick it up next week on the live stream! On me!

UI freezes in your plugin for JetBrains IDEs even when running in the background? 😬 Long-running non-cancellable read actions can block write actions and freeze the IDE. @Yuriy_Artamonov just published an article on that and how to fix such issues 👇 blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/…

If you build plugins for @JetBrains IDEs, UI freezes are among the fastest ways to ruin the UX. My colleague @Yuriy_Artamonov will host a livestream on why they happen, how plugin code can accidentally block the UI thread, and how to avoid it. Details 👇 blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/…

@Ruud_ @phpstorm Hi! Thanks for the additional details! There’s an existing feature request to share indexes and settings across Git worktrees (IJPL-229252). Please up-vote it to help us prioritize it and star it to track any updates.

@phpstorm I know you're working on improving support for worktrees. When you do, it would be great if project caches are shared (initially) with the worktrees for speed.

What's the preferred learning format for JetBrains IDE Plugin development? When learning new API functionality, 87% of developers prefer in-depth technical documentation over video tutorials. Find out why: blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/…

I found a “two plugins” problem and decided to…merge them 😄 If you use the Gradle Grammar Kit Plugin, this should make your life simpler (and mine less painful) 📺 Live coding it Tue 3rd, 9am CET Twitch: twitch.tv/hszanowski YouTube: @hszanowski" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@hszanowski Details in 🧵

Starting with 2026.1, IntelliJ-based IDEs run natively on Wayland in supported desktop configurations. We are rolling this out in EAP first. Try native Wayland mode, share feedback, and help us polish it before the launch 👇 jb.gg/doqyt4

🐛 Debugger architecture redesign lands in IntelliJ Platform 2026.1 Split frontend/backend to power Remote Development—snappier, more stable debugging. Most plugins unchanged in Local IDE, but test with 2026.1 EAP & check logs. Details in the blog post 👇 blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2026/…

@faisal6621 @IntelliJSupport Hi, I assume that IDEA on your side is configured to start non-login sessions. If so, then you may set it up in File | Settings | Tools | Terminal | Shell Path to "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" -l, for example, or use the .bashrc for the customization.

@IntelliJSupport I use git bash as my default terminal but I observed that it doesn't load the .bash_profile. How do I make it load the bash profile at launch?

Aydar from the IntelliJ Platform UI team wrote a blog post about recent changes to the Search Everywhere API to enhance remote development support in JetBrains IDEs. If you develop a plugin using this part of the API, this is a must-read! blog.jetbrains.com/platform/2025/…

@full_stack_04 @arinarium @intellijidea @jetbrains , try using the "set IJ_LAUNCHER_DEBUG=true" option via CMD to debug the starting IDE via the command line. Then please submit a request to the support team via the web form at jetbrains.com/support/ and attach the IDE logs, along with the output from the CMD.

@arinarium @intellijidea @jetbrains The default windows command prompt!

@intellijidea @jetbrains Sometimes the .idea command from CMD won't open the IDE. It mostly works very smoothly, but sometimes it doesn't!! Any way to fix this - other than restarting the machine? BTW, .datagrip, .webstorm - all these work fine!!
