I don't know why this glitch keeps on happening. I used IntelliJ for Java an year back now I am starting to learn kotlin but whever I run the main.kt file or even if i don't run it the main folder that is HelloWorld23, keeps disappearing and coming back closing all tabs. This is really frustating tried everything please help.
Modern TUIs, agentic coding tools, AI CLIs, interactive dashboards, and other advanced terminal applications increasingly depend on precise Unicode layout, modern keyboard protocols, mouse tracking, TrueColor, alternate screen buffers, shell integration, and fast incremental rendering.
The current default terminal in JetBrains IDEs still has rendering and compatibility issues with some modern TUI applications and terminal workflows.
I wanted to see whether a new terminal engine, designed from the beginning for modern workloads and built entirely on the JVM, could provide a better experience without sacrificing performance.
So I built KetraTerm from scratch in Kotlin.
Performance was one of the main design requirements from the beginning.
KetraTerm uses compact primitive-backed storage instead of allocating a separate object for every terminal cell. Its parser and terminal mutation paths are designed for a low allocation profile, reducing garbage-collection pressure during heavy output and rapid full-screen updates.
The renderer tracks dirty regions and redraws only the rows and cells that actually changed instead of continuously repainting the complete terminal.
Terminal processing, frame publication, and UI painting are also decoupled. This allows application output to continue being processed while the UI renders stable frames.
The result is an engine designed for demanding terminal workloads such as:
KetraTerm supports:
Its Unicode support is not limited to decoding UTF-8. KetraTerm handles grapheme segmentation and display width as part of the fixed-cell terminal model, helping multilingual text, emoji, combining marks, and complex TUI layouts remain correctly aligned.
KetraTerm supports OSC 133 and OSC 7 shell integration.
This allows it to understand command boundaries, prompts, exit statuses, and the current working directory instead of treating the entire session as an unstructured stream of text.
It also supports native desktop and in IDE notifications.
The KetraTerm plugin embeds the complete KetraTerm terminal engine directly inside IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, PyCharm, WebStorm, CLion, and other compatible JetBrains IDEs.
The same engine also powers a standalone desktop terminal for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
KetraTerm 0.1.0 is now publicly available: desktop archives are available through GitHub Releases, and the source code is available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Development remains active. New features, compatibility improvements, performance refinements, and deeper IDE integrations will continue to be released.
If you use a modern TUI, agentic tool, shell workflow, or Unicode-heavy application that behaves incorrectly in your current IDE terminal, try the same workflow in KetraTerm.
Whether KetraTerm handles it better or still exposes a bug, please report the result. Real-world compatibility reports will help make KetraTerm better.

Hi there,
After creating a plugin for my personal use I thought about uploading it to the plugins repository, you perhaps already guessed from the title that it supports both gradle and maven so no more different plugins, additionally it also looks into your checkstyle versions if you use one. Here is the link.

A few months ago, I switched from IntelliJ IDEA to Cursor, and I found an IDE that was almost fully agentic. Cursor’s AI autocomplete is unmatched; it’s incredibly good for quick tasks using Composer, and it has solid integration with Codex and Claude.
But… the feeling of safety, completeness, having tools that actually work and aren’t toys, and everything I feel with IntelliJ IDEA surpasses it by far. It feels amazing to be back!!
IntelliJ is a special IDE, complete, and I simply love it!!
Nothing is better than being home again.
I’m considering switching from Cursor to an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate subscription, mainly for full-stack development.
For those currently using JetBrains AI in IntelliJ IDEA:
How good is the autocomplete today?
How does it compare to Cursor in real-world usage?
Can Claude Code or Codex be used comfortably alongside IntelliJ, or are there limitations I should know about?
I’d appreciate hearing from people who have used both Cursor and IntelliJ recently.

Kotlin Notebook is moving to a community-driven, open-source model. Starting with v2026.2 it's no longer bundled with IntelliJ IDEA (it stays available on the Marketplace), and the source is being published on GitHub under Apache 2.0 so the community can keep developing it. JetBrains will no longer officially maintain or support it. Engineers may still review and merge community PRs when possible, but day-to-day maintenance moves to the community.
What this means if you use Kotlin for data analysis: Kotlin DataFrame is unaffected and continues independently. Recent releases have made it much easier to bring notebook-style, type-safe data transformations into regular Kotlin projects with the DataFrame compiler plugin, schema-aware APIs and generated column accessors are now available directly in Gradle and Maven projects and work in ordinary .kt files. The latest release is 1.0.0-Beta5.
Setup guides:

Hi, I'm using Rider 2026.1.3 with Unity 6 (6000.0.72f1). When I Ctrl+Click or Go to Declaration on .NET classes like List<T> or string.Contains, Rider only shows metadata such as throw null instead of the actual decompiled C# source. Decompile methods is enabled, and invalidating caches didn't help. This used to work in older versions of Rider. Has anyone encountered this issue or knows how to fix it?
Context Actions telling me to insert ; between a plus sign and a second number
Saw this while learning Java. Why does it request that? How to fix this?
I'm trying to open a Minecraft Mod project downloaded from official sources like fabric-example-mod or forge mdk. In both cases the gradle build will fail with different errors:
Fabric:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
org.gradle.api.plugins.internal.DefaultDecoratedConvention
> org.gradle.api.plugins.internal.DefaultDecoratedConvention
* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights from a Build Scan (powered by Develocity).
> Get more help at https://help.gradle.org.
BUILD FAILED in 3s
Forge:
Cause: org/gradle/internal/enterprise/impl/GradleEnterprisePluginServices has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0
In case of Forge all IntelliJ settings (project sdk, and gradle JVM) and JAVA_HOME are set to Java 17. There is not a single reference of Java 11.
The interesting part is, when building the project with command line it works just fine even the task "gradlew runClient" which proofs that project is working as expected. This seems like the issue is IntelliJ related and not gradle/minecraft.
I'm using IntelliJ 2021.2.1 Community. Maybe this is too old? but it still worked fine 1 year ago.
Has anyone experienced something like that before or knows how to fix it?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue trying to authenticate my work Claude account inside my IDE, and I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if this is a bug.
Here’s what happens:
I write a message in the IDE chat to start the authentication process.
The IDE provides an authentication link in the terminal.
I open that link in my browser.
The web page shows two options: authenticate with email or log in with my Claude account.
I choose the “Log in with your Claude account” option.
Then I select “Authorize application.”
After that, I get this error:
Authentication required
But I also see a badge saying:
Authentication was reset. Please create a new chat for the change to take effect.
If I create a new chat in the IDE, it still asks me to authenticate again, so I can’t actually use the chat.
I’m using a Claude Max plan account, so I expected the authentication to work and let me use the chat normally inside the IDE.
Has anyone else run into this? Is there something I’m missing, or does this look like an authentication bug?

Hey everyone,
GitAssistant 2.2.0 is now available.
This release mainly focuses on making Commit Insights safer to use and improving the AI commit generation experience when something goes wrong.
What’s new in 2.2.0
Commit Insights now supports on-demand analysis. Instead of automatically running a full Git analysis when a project opens, GitAssistant will ask for repository size confirmation before starting potentially expensive analysis runs.
This should make the feature much safer for large repositories.
I also added better error classification for AI commit generation. GitAssistant can now distinguish between different failure types, including:
The goal is to make failures easier to understand and recover from, instead of just showing a generic “AI failed” message.
Fixed
GitAssistant 2.2.0 is mostly a stability and UX release, but I think it makes the plugin feel much safer and more predictable in real-world projects.
Feedback is very welcome, especially from anyone using large repositories or OpenAI-compatible reasoning models.
Null pointer exceptions have been called the billion dollar mistake. They are a common source of bugs and frustration. JSpecify aims to fix that, and with Spring Boot 4 and Spring Framework 7 now fully on board, it's time to take a closer look. In this episode, Moritz Halbritter from the Spring team walks us through what this means for your Spring projects and how to adopt JSpecify in practice. Using a live demo, we migrate an existing Spring Boot application, tackling problems along the way.
See how to use JSpecify for the contract, IntelliJ IDEA for the developer experience, Spring for the framework, and NullAway for the build guarantee. Whether you're maintaining a large codebase or publishing a library, this episode gives you the tools to start eliminating null pointer exceptions in your applications.
Is there any option to move a non-static method to another class? I tried F6 but it wants me to convert the method to static. I want to just move the method and adjust all references that uses that method.
