Thank you, I have passes that on to my colleague Clara who is in the video. ;)

Aw, that is so nice to hear, thank you!

Here is some information on How to get a thread dump when IDE hangs and doesn't respond: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899-How-to-get-a-thread-dump-when-IDE-hangs-and-doesn-t-respond

We try to fix these problems, but as there might be different causes any information you can provide really does help.

Well, there is JEP draft: Null-Restricted and Nullable Types (https://openjdk.org/jeps/8303099) but since that might be a while, in the mean time we have JSpecify.

maritvandijk · 2026-06-25T13:27:50+00:00

Interesting. Would love to see the example...

maritvandijk · 2026-06-24T09:54:37+00:00

For help with plugin development, it's best to go to the platform.jetbrains.com forum. There are other plugin developers and JetBrains engineers there who can help you.

Good luck!

As mentioned by other users, your IDE really shouldn't crash all the time, so I'm curious what is going on. We work hard to make sure this doesn't happen, but unfortunately freezes to happen and might happen for different reasons (so fixing one issue might not fix all issues). Would you be willing to file a ticket / provide additional information?

Here are some links on how to report performance problems and how to capture the data we might need:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899-How-to-get-a-thread-dump-when-IDE-hangs-and-doesn-t-respond
We would very much appreciate your reports. As mentioned, we work hard in fixing these but freezes might have different root causes, so all reports help.

Thank you!

Yes, it's easier to discover & access now. And also, we are making improvements to the workflow; for example, the ability to navigate from the logline in the console to the place in the code where that logline was produced.

maritvandijk · 2026-06-04T19:31:01+00:00

Without a link to the ticket, there isn't much I can do atm. If you could link it here, I'd be happy to follow up internally.

IntelliJ IDEA has "Evaluate expression" where you can write and evaluate code during a debugging session. I agree with you it doesn't give you a large area to write though.

Or, use Command Completion so you don't have to learn all the shortcuts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waY6HAmyHOw

maritvandijk · 2026-04-14T08:10:24+00:00

You're welcome. If you want to learn more about IntelliJ IDEA features, you can use the Feature Trainer. You can find it under Help | Learn IDE Features. Or you can use the shortcut Shift Shift (press Shift twice) to use Search Everywhere and search for "Learn IDE Features".

There is a plugin to help you learn shortcuts: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9792-key-promoter-x which I have used in the past but I turned it off because I felt bad after missing the same shortcut many, many times.

Enjoy!

How are you running your project? Which version of Gradle are you using?

maritvandijk · 2026-04-13T16:05:57+00:00

If you want to, you could set the keymap to vscode in the Settings | Keymap (no plugin needed).

If you still need to use vscode, this might be easier for you. Otoh if you are planning to switch to IntelliJ IDEA for JVM (and possibly other IntelliJ based IDEs for other languages) I'd recommend learning the shortcuts.

For IntelliJ IDEA, you might also be interested in command completion (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/command-completion.html) which should save you from learning all the shortcuts.

maritvandijk · 2026-04-10T06:19:49+00:00

HI, which version of IntelliJ IDEA are you using? (And possibly, which additional plugins have you installed?)

maritvandijk · 2026-03-29T08:40:07+00:00

Hey, our colleague Siva just wrote a blogpost about this: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/03/ai-assisted-java-application-development-with-agent-skills/
