What's new

Remote

• Dev containers: reopen a local project in its dev container and forward the container's ports.
• SSH reads ProxyCommand, Include, Match and none auth from ~/.ssh/config.

Plugins (Preview)

• Plugin API 1.3 (openidea:[email protected]); plugins built for earlier 1.x versions keep loading.
• Editor: add semantic colours, hover text, inlay hints, gutter icons and live diagnostics in any language; indexed workspace symbols, usages and rename.
• Files and processes: write files, read outside the project, private persistent directories, batched file events, long-running processes and PTY sessions.
• UI: multi-page settings, plugin-backed content and log editor tabs, tool-window web views with their own header, detail panes, sortable tables, notification actions, submenus and grouped views.
• Plugins can ship translations, take part in the commit workflow, share HTTP endpoints, and create, rename and delete files from a code action.

Agents

• A new conversation view with folded tool runs, inline @file and /skill tags, jump to latest, retract, and project drag-and-drop.
• Rename tasks, roll back to a fresh session, and choose the thinking level before a task starts.
• Question cards for Claude's AskUserQuestion, Codex and Qwen Code; background tasks shown above the composer; Mermaid diagrams in replies.
• Command approvals show the script inside a shell wrapper, and full-access settings are honoured for tool approvals.

Run and debug

• Tomcat Server run configurations with applica

OpenIDEA 0.1.38 adds Docker and Compose run targets, Oracle data sources, Astro support, PHP Remote Debug with PHPStan and PHP-CS-Fixer, Ruby test runs with coverage, a choice of update source with a China mirror, and ships Plugin API 1.2.

What's new

Plugins (Preview)

• Plugin API 1.2 (openidea:[email protected]): commands can ask the user with a picker, an input box or a confirmation, read every file selected in the Project view, and set context keys for their when clauses.
• when clauses can test whether the project contains a file; plugin tree and list views get a right-click menu on their items; plugins can set their own icon.
• A background document-indexer API, and project files are listed from the index instead of walking the disk.
• Plugins built for API 1.0 and 1.1 keep loading.

Run and debug

• Docker and Compose run targets.
• PHP Remote Debug (Xdebug) run configuration; OpenIDEA offers to install php-debug and Bash Debug when they are missing.
• Search the debug console output; console actions sit in a toolbar on its left, and the program's input can be typed there.
• Reload Changed Classes from the editor context menu, and the taskbar flashes when a breakpoint hits while the window is unfocused.
• Ruby: a test tree with jump to source and gutter actions, run tests from the editor and Project view, and Run with Coverage (SimpleCov).
• Runs and terminals stop when the app exits; rerun uses the configuration as edited.
• Gradle module tests run from the build root; Delve's leftover __debug_bin files are cleaned up.

Languages and editor

• Astro language support.
• PHP: PHPStan errors on save, PHP-CS-Fixer reformatting, New › PHP File / PHP Class with the namespace from composer.json, source and test roots from its autoload, and an offer to run composer install when vendor/ is missing or stale.
• Python: semantic highlighting, and Ruff formatting with config directories.
• Log files are highlighted by level, timestamp and stack frame.

OpenIDEA 0.1.37 opens WSL projects directly, debugs Flutter apps, adds Git Blame in diffs and an Android Logcat tool window, and ships Plugin API 1.1.

What's new

Remote and WSL

• Open WSL projects through a WSL transport instead of the Windows network share; folders on \\wsl.localhost\… also list faster.
• A failed SSH backend upload is reported instead of waiting forever.
• Sync with Deployed to the default server opens in its own window.

Plugins (Preview)

• Plugin API 1.1 (openidea:[email protected]) adds vcs.remotes, ui.copy-to-clipboard and ui.open-url; plugin views can open a project file at a line, and tool windows can use an SVG icon from the package.
• Plugins built for API 1.0 keep loading: 1.0.0 is frozen, and every later version is checked against it.
• openidea-plugin check and install refuse components that don't link against the host; the marketplace index loads on first open.

Run and debug

• Debug Flutter apps through the Flutter debug adapter.
• OpenIDEA asks before closing while Run/Debug processes are running.
• Session tabs have icons, a Debug button in the run panel, and can be closed.
• Java: Application and Spring Boot configurations run from the project root; Run is offered for single files whose main class isn't the first type and for classes whose superclass declares main; TestNG classes annotated with @Test are recognized.
• Python: modules with relative imports run with -m; uv / poetry configurations debug in the project's environment.
• Gradle tests appear in the test tree as they run.
• Debug console: coloured Spring Boot output, Soft-Wrap and Scroll to End; input is evaluated as expressions under CodeLLDB.
• JetBrains Spring Boot and Application run configurations are imported, and Tomcat updates web resources from the folders the WAR is built from.

Java, Kotlin and build tools

• Gradle: link and unlink independent Gradle builds.
• Maven: add POMs outside the root reactor, list the profiles of settings.xml, a

Changelog

Plugins (Preview)

• Plugin system. Plugins are sandboxed WebAssembly components that can add actions, completion, quick fixes, navigation, tool windows, custom editors and web views, settings, themes, file icon themes and languages. They ask for your consent before using the network, programs or secrets. Plugin API 1.0 is a preview and may still change before it is declared stable.
• Marketplace in Settings › Plugins and on the welcome screen, with official and community plugins, categories and version compatibility. Official plugins include Harbor Night, Material Icons, Solidity, String Tools, Key Promoter, Git Toolbox, Checkstyle, AI Completion, MyBatis, CSV Editor, Excalidraw, Graphviz, Regex Tester and License Header.
• IntelliJ theme plugins import as OpenIDEA themes; icon themes can match by pattern and replace built-in icons.
• openidea-plugin scaffolds, builds, checks and links plugins. See Writing OpenIDEA plugins.

Run and debug

• Import run configurations from JetBrains projects (.run/*.run.xml, .idea/workspace.xml) and from .vscode/launch.json.
• The configuration chooser pins favourites, lists recently started ones first and marks running ones with Rerun and Stop; Stop lists every running process with Stop All.
• Choose the JRE and module of an Application configuration and the Node interpreter of an npm configuration; path fields have browse buttons and the dialog resizes.
• Tomcat deployments update from compiled classes instead of rebuilding the WAR.
• Completion in Evaluate, the Variables evaluate field and the Debug console; multi-line values stay on their row, and muted breakpoints show as grey dots.
• Build Project for CMake projects.

Java, Kotlin and build tools

• Pull Members Up / Push Members Down for Java.
• Gradle: modules are imported from Gradle itself (includeFlat, included builds, computed includes), dependencies are analysed per configuration, and version catalog
