IntelliJ IDEA
TrialJetBrains' IDE for Java and Kotlin with deep code analysis, refactoring and framework support.
About IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ IDEA is an integrated development environment from JetBrains, best known for Java and Kotlin development. It offers code completion, inspections, refactoring, a debugger, version control integration and strong support for build tools like Maven and Gradle.
The IDE runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. JetBrains has historically offered a free Community edition and a paid Ultimate edition with extra web, enterprise and database tooling, and licensing has been changing across recent releases. Prices are not in the supplied data, so check the official site for what applies to your version.
It suits professional Java and Kotlin developers and teams who value refactoring and code understanding, and its code analysis tends to be deeper than lightweight editors. It uses more memory and takes longer to start than a text editor. The winget entry's version is a 2025.2 patch dated April 2026, so the newest main release may be newer. Plugins add support for other languages and tools, and the same keymap and interface carry across JetBrains products, which helps if you use several.
Check which edition and licence you are installing, since JetBrains has changed its packaging. Allocate enough memory for large projects.
