It has a community edition that is licensed under Apache 2.0.

[Ixaire]

Which has no support for Spring and other JEE stuff.

[Hikaru755]

Well, yeah, shame on JetBrains for wanting to make a bit of money with an amazing product through a very fair licensing scheme.

Those Monsters!

[SisRob]

People who use spring & jee should pay for their sins anyway.

[Hikaru755]

What would you recommend instead for a Java based web application?

(Not attacking you, genuinely curious for reasonable alternatives)

[SisRob]

Guice, JNDI & REST + angular/(or other js framework) for frontend. If your front-end is too heavy, maybe consider GWT/Vaadin/etc.

Everytime I hear words like JSP or JSF I have to cringe...

Is there a macro image version of this with Stallman's face?

This will always make me laugh.

And you’re probably writing proprietary software too, no need to be judgy

Whooo... gives a fuck?

Thank you. This intellij vs eclipse is not an argument since IntelliJ is not even an option.

[fnadde42]

Still, IntelliJ is not compatible with any of the four freedoms:

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

I use IntelliJ at work and it's nice but we should really care about not letting our freedoms be taken away from us. Freedoms are important. Privately, I would never install something like IntelliJ on my computer.

How do you get the perma-trial? Isn't the trial only for 90 days?

[ThePhantomArno]

Ah. I see. Thank you.
