The open-source codebase of IntelliJ IDEA and the IntelliJ Platform, the foundation for JetBrains IDEs like PyCharm. It provides a full-featured Java/Kotlin IDE and a plugin platform for building custom IDEs and language tooling.
Use cases
- build a custom IDE on the IntelliJ Platform
- contribute to IntelliJ IDEA source code
- develop plugins for JetBrains IDEs
- get a free open-source Java IDE
- understand how a large-scale IDE is architected
- build IDE support for a new programming language
When to choose
- you want to develop IntelliJ plugins or a custom JetBrains-based IDE
- you want to contribute to or study the IntelliJ IDEA codebase
- you need a mature, full-featured open-source Java/Kotlin IDE
When to avoid
- you just want to install and use IntelliJ IDEA - download the release instead
- you need a lightweight editor rather than a full IDE
- you need a permissively licensed codebase - parts are under JetBrains proprietary licenses
