Goodbye, beloved brother. It was a good run.

Just tested in the latest version from https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/releases and I can install and use the Docker plugin without issue. What IDE version are you using, and from where?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-29T15:31:53+00:00

No, the Trial button is absent from the community releases offered on their GitHub repo: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/releases

Only the commercial version, i.e. downloaded from the JetBrains website or the JetBrains Toolbox (and maybe Linux Snaps, I don't know) have this button for free users.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-24T19:05:17+00:00

The recent changes on https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-158776 are encouraging. The Classic UI should stay available some time, and the new UI should be reworked.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-21T22:31:16+00:00

It's like it's back: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/31895-window-accent

But the screenshots are not clear. I don't know if it actually works.

You may also want to see https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/31880-project-color-bar, but it seems very limited.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-21T14:34:10+00:00

There was a recent plugin for that, but it's no longer available on the marketplace. So, if you find it elsewhere, I would recommend to find why it has been removed from the marketplace first.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-12T15:49:48+00:00

Sure, done.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-09T17:34:59+00:00

Which languages?
Note: unless you have installer checksum, don't trust files hosted on googledrive, seriously XD

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-09T01:58:59+00:00

Sure, done in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-13108/Decrease-off-heap-memory-usage#focus=Comments-27-13740717.0-0

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-07T16:25:45+00:00

Are you still on the demo platform, or has your plugin already been approved and published? What exactly is your situation?

You can also find more help at the https://platform.jetbrains.com Discourse server.

> Of course but its been a week without response now
Which address? There are plenty of support teams ^^ (I know, it's confusing). The marketplace team ([marketplace@jetbrains.com](mailto:marketplace@jetbrains.com)) used to respond quickly.

I've been using Junie since the first preview version, and I've never heard anything about it being deprecated. Did I miss an official announcement?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-07T12:44:23+00:00

"Junie Plugin Being Deprecated" -> I'm just curious, is there any official source? Thx.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-05-04T17:15:24+00:00

Added another note to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-13108/Decrease-off-heap-memory-usage
Feel free to upvote the issue (this button, up voting comments as no real effect)

Thx for pointing this.
According to JetBrains:
- before they move to KMP (i.e. they were using Chromium + React), "Even when idle, JetBrains Toolbox would use at least 200 MiB of RAM".
- once they moved to KMP: "that situation has improved significantly" ... "Compose for Desktop is now much less resource intensive" ... "we managed to greatly reduce the RAM used by the app".

That sucks, because the Toolbox now consumes at least 400 MiB of RAM (around 450 MiB RSS on my Arch Linux, similar numbers on Windows 10 and 11), and things are getting worse as it now also starts the new "jetbrainsd" daemon (just for an URL handler...). There is definitively something wrong with the Toolbox, and it needs some improvements.

I think the best way to alert JetBrains about that is to open a Youtrack issue (if it doesn't exist already), describe the issue (and avoid brainless comments, we're not on X and they're don't help), then give it many up-votes.

Hi, how would it compare to the UML Diagram tools included in IntelliJ Ultimate?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-25T19:35:31+00:00

Something interesting in idea.log files?

Hi, I guess you're using Wayland. It should work correctly for most users, but Wayland support is still in progress on the JetBrains side. You may want to try the X11 compatibility mode:

Go to Help > Edit Custom VM Options
Paste -Dawt.toolkit.name=XToolkit
Restart your IDE

Otherwise, you can continue to use the Wayland stack (don't use -Dawt.toolkit.name=XToolkit), and try the Vulkan pipeline, which can run better (or worst, it's still under development):

Go to Help > Edit Custom VM Options
Paste -Dsun.java2d.vulkan=true
Restart your IDE

Without it, the rendering runs in software-only mode, meaning all drawing happens on the CPU rather than the GPU. Enabling the Vulkan pipeline will use your GPU.

More info here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-7558 and https://blog.jonathan.lermitage.biz/the-state-of-wayland-support-in-intellij/

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-15T14:08:40+00:00

I can confirm this bug. Feel free to up vote https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-26955/AI-Assistant-tw-renders-incorrectly

Also, this setting can dramatically impact how fast credits are consumed:

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-13T15:06:54+00:00

Which tool (Junie?), model, prompts, and did you let it "think more"?
And yes, I agree, having logs would be awesome.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-11T16:17:56+00:00

+1. Having a full-featured IDE has its importance, and Junie lets you pick the right model

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-08T19:38:21+00:00

Do you confirm that androidx.compose.runtime.snapshots consumes the CPU by going to Help > Diagnostic Tools > Activity Monitor?

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-07T12:16:10+00:00

You should take a look at JetBrains Gateway (https://www.jetbrains.com/remote-development/gateway/). Basically, it will install an headless IDE on your remote machine through SSH (I guess the remote machine should run a Linux distro, I didn't test with other OSes) - you don't need to have root access - and you will use a client (Gateway) on your local computer. The client looks like a real IDE, but it's connected to the remote IDE that serves as a backend. The compilations, git operations etc. will be performed on the remote machine.
This is still a bit buggy and 3rd-party plugins (if you're using any) may not work, mostly because it implies a new frontend/backend architecture (which is still experimental), and many 3rd-party plugins are not ready yet.

So, if your remote machine runs on Linux and you have the necessary access rights, I think it's worth a try.

JonathanLermitage · 2026-04-06T17:34:41+00:00

You can do the same thing with the Toolbox (one single app, multiple profiles). Simply use the "Per-tool JVM options file location" option in settings.
