IntelliJ IDEA

The first version of IntelliJ IDEA was released in January 2001 and was one of the first available Java IDEs with advanced code navigation and code refactoring capabilities integrated.{{cite web|url=http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/refactoring.html|title=IntelliJ IDEA :: Java refactoring plus sophisticated code refactoring for JSP, XML, CSS, HTML, JavaScript|publisher=JetBrains|access-date=2010-12-17|archive-date=2014-01-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140122122549/http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/refactoring.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://martinfowler.com/articles/refactoringRubicon.html|title=Crossing Refactoring's Rubicon|last=Fowler|first=Martin|author-link=Martin Fowler (software engineer)|work=MartinFowler.com}}

In 2009, JetBrains released the source code for IntelliJ IDEA under the open-source Apache License 2.0.{{cite web |title=JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA Goes Open Source |url=https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2009/10/15/pr_151009/ |website=The JetBrains Blog |access-date=4 September 2022 |date=15 October 2009}}{{cite web |last=Pronschinske |first=Mitch |title=IntelliJ IDEA Goes Open Source |url=https://dzone.com/articles/last-major-ide-vendor-intellij |website=dzone.com |access-date=4 September 2022 |language=en |date=15 October 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314153710/https://dzone.com/articles/last-major-ide-vendor-intellij|archive-date=2017-03-14}} JetBrains also began distributing a limited version of IntelliJ IDEA consisting of open-source features under the moniker Community Edition. The commercial Ultimate Edition provides additional features and remains available for a fee.

In a 2010 InfoWorld report, IntelliJ received the highest test centre score out of the four top Java programming tools: Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans and JDeveloper.{{cite web|url=http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/infoworld-review-top-java-programming-tools-191|title=InfoWorld review: Top Java programming tools|last=Binstock|first=Andrew|date=22 September 2010|work=InfoWorld}}

In December 2014, Google announced version 1.0 of Android Studio, an open-source IDE for Android apps, based on the open source community edition.{{cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2014/12/08/google-releases-android-studio-1-0-the-first-stable-version-of-its-ide/|title=Google releases Android Studio 1.0, the first stable version of its IDE|work=VentureBeat|date=8 December 2014}} Other development environments based on IntelliJ's framework include AppCode, CLion, DataGrip, GoLand, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Rider, RubyMine, WebStorm, and MPS.{{cite web|url=http://www.jetbrains.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=983889|title=What is the IntelliJ Platform?|work=VentureBeat|date=23 February 2015}}

In September 2020, Huawei announced and released version 1.0 of DevEco Studio, an open-source IDE for HarmonyOS apps development, based on Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA with Huawei's SmartAssist for Windows and macOS.{{Cite web |last=Amit |date=2020-09-09 |title=Huawei DevEco Studio 1.0 launched: EMUI 11 and Hongmeng Project App can be developed |url=https://www.huaweiupdate.com/huawei-deveco-studio-1-0/ |access-date=2023-08-24 |website=HU |language=en-US}}

The IDE provides certain features{{Cite web|title = IntelliJ IDEA :: Features|url = https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/|website = JetBrains|access-date = 2016-02-07}} like code completion by analysing the context, code navigation which allows jumping to a class or declaration in the code directly, code refactoring, code debugging,Roman Beskrovnyi, [https://codegym.cc/groups/posts/243-debugging-in-intellij-idea-a-beginners-guide "Debugging in IntelliJ IDEA: a beginner's guide"], CodeGym.cc blog, 16 March 2020 linting and options to fix inconsistencies via suggestions.

The IDE provides integration with build/packaging tools like Maven, Grunt, Gradle, and sbt. It supports databases like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL can be accessed directly from the IDE in the Ultimate edition, through an embedded version of DataGrip, another IDE developed by JetBrains.

IntelliJ IDEA supports plugins through which one can add additional functionality to the IDE. Plugins can be downloaded and installed either from IntelliJ's plugin repository website or through the IDE's built-in plugin search and install feature. Each edition has separate plugin repositories, with the Community edition supporting over 7,600 plugins, and the Ultimate edition supporting over 8,300 plugins, as of November 2024.{{Cite web |title=JetBrains Marketplace |url=https://plugins.jetbrains.com/ |website=JetBrains |access-date=2 November 2024}}
