A JetBrains-maintained fork of OpenJDK that serves as the runtime environment for IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs and products. It includes JetBrains-specific patches and enhancements on top of the standard JDK for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Use cases
- run IntelliJ-based IDEs with a patched JDK
- build a custom OpenJDK runtime with JetBrains enhancements
- debug rendering or font issues in IntelliJ Platform products
- contribute fixes to the JDK used by JetBrains IDEs
- test IDE plugins against the JetBrains runtime
When to choose
- you develop or build IntelliJ Platform-based products
- you need to reproduce or fix runtime issues specific to JetBrains IDEs
- you want a JDK with JetBrains' rendering and platform patches
When to avoid
- you just need a standard JDK for general Java development
- you want a minimal or lightweight JRE
- you need long-term vendor support outside the JetBrains ecosystem
