This latest version of the JetBrains IDE for C and C++ includes the following key features and updates:</p> <ul> <li>Considerable improvements to the new language engine, CLion Nova.</li> <li>New <em>Debug Servers</em> configuration option.</li> <li>OpenCV image viewer.</li> <li>Ability to attach the debugger to an unstarted process.</li> <li>Debugging support for Zephyr West.</li> </ul> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-36.png" alt="CLion 2024.3" class="wp-image-528602"/></figure> <p>You can download CLion 2024.3 from the link below, via the <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toolbox App</a>, as a snap package if you’re using Ubuntu, or via a patch update from version 2024.2.</p> <p align="center"><a class="jb-download-button" href="https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-test="blog-article-cta"><i class="download-icon"></i>DOWNLOAD CLION 2024.3</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">CLion Nova</h2> <p>In this release, our new language engine, CLion Nova, has received many important enhancements, including various language-specific and UI updates and several memory usage optimizations. We’ve also provided improved language support for modern C++ features.</p> <p>Furthermore, to simplify the transition from CLion Classic to CLion Nova, we’ve added a toggle switch to both the <em>Welcome</em> screen and the <em>Configuration</em> menu.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1172" height="564" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/1_nova_feedback.png" alt="CLion Nova toggle switch" class="wp-image-528734" style="aspect-ratio:2.078014184397163;width:645px;height:auto"/></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call for feedback on CLion Nova</h3> <p>The performance of CLion Nova now exceeds that of CLion Classic by an even greater margin. It’s smoother and more responsive, even on larger projects with hundreds of thousands of lines of code. That’s why we’ve added even more convenient ways for you to switch to CLion Nova.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, we realize that some CLion Classic users are not ready to make the switch. Before we make CLion Nova the default engine for everyone, we would like to understand why some users prefer CLion Classic over CLion Nova. We would therefore appreciate it if you could share your feedback with us via <em>Help</em> | <em>Submit Feedback…</em> in the main IDE menu. We’ll review it carefully and try to resolve any critical issues that might prevent you from getting the most out of CLion Nova.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Memory usage improvements</h3> <p>Various improvements have vastly reduced CLion Nova’s memory usage and improved overall IDE performance. This is especially noticeable in large projects like <a href="https://www.chromium.org/chromium-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chromium</a> ones.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1790" height="1104" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/2_nova_memory.png" alt="Chromium project memory usage" class="wp-image-528745"/></figure> <p>For example, when we compared the memory usage of a Chromium project in CLion Nova 2024.2 with the same project in 2024.3, we saw that the IDE frontend used 51% less memory in the new version, and the IDE backend used 15% less. In short, this means the IDE has become more responsive and quicker to launch.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call hierarchy</h3> <p>The function call hierarchy is now available when using CLion Nova in the <em>Hierarchy</em> tool window. It displays caller and callee hierarchies, visually representing how your functions interact and highlighting recursive calls with the corresponding icon.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/3_call_hierarchy-1.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/3_call_hierarchy.png" alt="Quick definition" width="800" class="wp-image-528296"/></figure> <p>To see the call hierarchy of a function, select it in the editor, and then click <em>Navigate</em> | <em>Call Hierarchy</em> from the main menu or use the shortcut <em>⌃⌥H</em> (macOS) or <em>Ctrl+Alt+H</em> (Windows/Linux).</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Predefined code styles from other projects</h3> <p>One of the most requested features we’ve added to this release is predefined code styles from other projects such as LLVM, GNU, Qt, and Google. This allows you to follow popular style guides for code structure rules, naming conventions, and other C++ areas where consistency is crucial. You can select your preferred style via <em>Settings</em> | <em>Editor</em> | <em>Code Style</em> | <em>C/C++</em> | <em>Set from…</em>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2696" height="1616" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/4_code_styles.png" alt="Predefined code styles" class="wp-image-528756"/></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Quick Definition</em> support</h3> <p>The <em>Quick</em> <em>Definition</em> popup reveals where and how function, class, method, and other project symbols are defined. To call it, place the caret at a symbol in the editor and press <em>⌥Space</em> (macOS) or <em>Ctrl+Shift+|</em> (Windows/Linux). You can also access it from the main menu via <em>View</em> | <em>Quick Definition</em>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6_quick_definition.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/6_quick_definition.png" alt="Quick definition" width="800" class="wp-image-528329"/></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embedded development</h2> <p>In this release, we have continued to expand CLion&#8217;s functionality to meet the diverse needs of embedded developers. Major updates for embedded development include debug servers, the ability to edit peripheral register values, and support for debugging West projects.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Debug servers <strong>^{<mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">experimental</mark>}</strong></h3> <p>We’ve introduced a new <em>Debug Servers</em> configuration option to simplify the setup of debugging for embedded and remote development. Located in <em>Settings</em> | <em>Debugger</em>, this dedicated section allows you to configure a debug server for the specific debug probe and use it to run or debug the build target.</p> <p>To enable the configuration option, go to <em>Settings</em> | <em>Advanced Settings</em> | <em>Debugger</em>. You can select <em>Edit Debug Servers</em> from the main toolbar switcher or go to <em>Settings</em> | <em>Debugger </em>and open the <em>Debug Servers</em> dialog to configure a debug server.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/7_debug_servers.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/7_debug_servers.png" alt="Debug servers" width="800" class="wp-image-528373"/></figure> <p>Please be aware that this is an experimental feature, and it doesn’t work with PlatformIO&nbsp;yet. There is, however, a <a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-42014/Debug-Servers-are-not-compatible-with-PlatformIO" target="_blank" rel="noopener">workaround</a>. We encourage you to give it a try and share your feedback with us. Additionally, we are more than willing to arrange a <a href="https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8011393/CLion-EAP-Feedback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brief call</a> to understand your specific use cases and challenges better.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Debugging support for Zephyr West</h3> <p>Now, you can natively debug Zephyr projects that use the West meta-tool <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/2024.2/zephyr.html#run-debug-configuration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directly in CLion</a>. When you import your Zephyr West project, a West run/debug configuration is automatically created in the <em>Run/Debug Configurations</em> switcher. You can also create a new run/debug configuration by selecting <em>Run</em> | <em>Edit Configurations…</em> from the main menu, clicking <em>+</em>, and selecting a <em>West</em> template:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1982" height="1066" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8_west_debug.png" alt="Zephyr West debug configuration" class="wp-image-528767"/></figure> <p>Once configured, the new West run/debug configuration will be available in the <em>Run/Debug Configurations</em> switcher, and you can use it to run a debug session.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Editable peripheral register values</h3> <p>When debugging board peripherals like timers, communication interfaces, or GPIO ports, you can now instantly observe the results of your modifications by editing peripheral registers directly in the <em>Peripherals</em> pane.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1823" height="689" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9_peripherals.png" alt="Editable peripheral register values" class="wp-image-528778"/></figure> <p>You can test different configurations and device states on the go without recompiling your code or reloading your application or board.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Support for MISRA C++:2023 with CLion Nova</h3> <p>The <a href="https://misra.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MISRA guidelines</a> are indispensable in the development of safety-critical systems. In this release, CLion’s static analysis toolset gets a <a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/articles/CPP-A-191430682/MISRA-checks-supported-in-CLion#misra-c-2023-67-177" target="_blank" rel="noopener">significant portion</a> of MISRA C++:2023 checks specifically targeted at C++17.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2340" height="1222" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10_misra.png" alt="MISRA C++:2023 checks" class="wp-image-528789"/></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Debugger</h2> <p>CLion’s debugger has received several updates, the most important of which are an OpenCV image viewer, the ability to attach the debugger to an unstarted process, a formatted view for strings with structured data, and new bundled GDB (15.2) and LLDB (19.1.3) debuggers.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">OpenCV image viewer</h3> <p>If you’re developing an ML application that uses the OpenCV library, you can now view a two-dimensional OpenCV array as an image while debugging the application. The image opens in a separate dialog with multiple editing options.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11_opencv_viewer.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11_opencv_viewer.png" alt="OpenVC image viewer" width="800" class="wp-image-528420"/></figure> <p>The OpenCV image viewer simplifies image processing inspection during application debugging. It’s also more convenient than alternative methods like saving an image to the hard drive or writing extra code to display it in a popup window.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ability to attach the debugger to an unstarted process</h3> <p>Attaching the debugger to an unstarted local process is helpful when one part of your project is written in C++ and runs in CLion, while another is written in another language and runs in an external environment.</p> <p>To try the feature:</p> <ul> <li>Set a breakpoint in your code.</li> <li>Select <em>Run</em> | <em>Attach to an Unstarted Process…</em> from the main menu.</li> <li>In the <em>Command line </em>field, add a pattern to find the process using wildcard characters: <code>*process_name*</code>.</li> <li>Select the options you need.</li> <li>Select a debugger to attach.</li> <li>The debugger will start watching the process.</li> </ul> <p></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13_debug_unstarted_process.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/13_debug_unstarted_process.png" alt="Attaching the debugger to an unstarted process" width="800" class="wp-image-528457"/></figure> <p>Once the external process starts, the debugger will attach to it. From there, the debugging session will continue as normal, with the program running and halting at the breakpoints you have set.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Formatted view for strings with JSON, XML, or HTML data</h3> <p>When debugging strings containing JSON, XML, or HTML data, or newline characters, you can view them formatted according to their code style directly in the debugger. This means you no longer need to copy unformatted values into a third-party tool for examination.&nbsp;</p> <p>When debugging, click <em>View</em> next to a variable to see the structured or raw data in a separate window.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2236" height="1095" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12_formatted_strings_view.png" alt="Formatted view for strings with JSON, XML, or HTML" class="wp-image-528800"/></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other enhancements</h2> <p>This release also includes a number of user experience improvements, such as renewed cloud completion, a new project status widget, and an updated UI for the new terminal. We’ve also updated the CMake bundle to 3.30.5.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Renewed cloud completion powered by AI Assistant&nbsp;</h3> <p>The enhanced JetBrains AI Assistant plugin, featuring our internally trained LLM for C++, has significantly improved the speed and intelligence of CLion’s cloud code completion. AI Assistant now provides more usage scenarios, better suffix matching, and more correct code fragment completions.</p> <p>One of the most significant enhancements is multiline code completion, which brings syntax highlighting and the ability to incrementally accept code suggestions.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" data-gif-src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14_ai_assistant.gif" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/14_ai_assistant.png" alt="Renewed cloud completion" width="800" class="wp-image-528476"/></figure> <p>Multiline code completion operates alongside standard code completion and Full Line Code Completion (the latter uses the local LLM and doesn’t require sending data to the cloud). It allows you to review and accept suggestions incrementally. Additionally, you can accept suggestions word by word using the shortcut <em>⌥→</em> on macOS or <em>Ctrl+→</em> on Windows.&nbsp;</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Project status widget</h3> <p>CLion’s project status notifications inform you of potential problems with your project configuration and offer ways to resolve them. In the previous CLion version, 2024.2, these notifications were displayed as yellow banners in the editor until the problem was resolved. They were irrelevant for some users – for example, those who just wanted to open a .cpp file from a third-party project to read the code. Having a notification banner hanging in the editor all the time is unnecessary in such cases.</p> <p>For this release, we’ve moved project status notifications from the top of the editor to a new widget in the status bar.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2760" height="1608" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/16_status_widget.png" alt="Project status widget" class="wp-image-528811"/></figure> <p>Now, the notification that your file doesn’t belong to any project won’t appear until you hover over the ⚠️ icon. When you click on the icon, the widget will offer to fix the problem. This makes notifications less distracting while still keeping the information accessible to those who want it.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Updated UI for the new terminal</h3> <p>The new terminal’s interface has been redesigned to be more compact by reducing padding. This change maximizes screen space, making it easier to view and work with commands while keeping everything readable and clear.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2804" height="1248" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/17_new_terminal.png" alt="Updated UI for the new terminal" class="wp-image-528822"/></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Highlighted occurrences of selected text</h3> <p>By default, CLion now highlights every instance of the text you select in any file type, not just .c and .cpp files. This change makes it much simpler to track where your selected text appears throughout the file.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2026" height="954" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/18_highlighting_occurrences.png" alt="Highlighted occurrences of selected text" class="wp-image-528833"/></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Try CLion and give us your feedback</h2> <p>We invite you to give CLion 2024.3 a try.

The same goes for deploying applications to servers. You used to have to physically travel to a data center to deploy your changes. Later on, we moved to VMs. Then containers came along and changed the game again.</p> <p>Containers have been widely adopted by most industries, and one of the most popular containerization tools is <a href="https://www.docker.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Docker</a>. However, as complexity grew, people started looking for orchestration tools that were effective at scale, performed load balancing, self-healed, and more. There were many contenders in the competition, like <a href="https://mesos.apache.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apache Mesos</a>, <a href="https://www.nomadproject.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HashiCorp Nomad</a>, and <a href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Docker Swarm</a>, but Kubernetes has thrived for a long time due to its robust ecosystem, extensive community support, scalability, and ability to manage complex, distributed applications across multiple environments.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized is-style-default"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="894" height="894" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Artboard-1-2x.png" alt="" class="wp-image-529509" style="width:50%;height:auto;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block"/></figure> <p style="font-size:12px;">Source: <em>drgarcia1986.medium.com</em></p> <p><a href="https://kubernetes.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kubernetes</a> is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

We continue to support it in the experimental state, and we are concluding certain experiments and reducing the number of scripting-related technologies that we provide and actively develop.</em></p> <p>Kotlin scripting is the technology that enables executing Kotlin code as scripts without prior compilation or packaging into executables. In addition, several extension mechanisms exist to facilitate the usage of Kotlin for specific applications, such as configuring build tools. On top of that, REPL functionality, which is closely related to scripting, is available for Kotlin in various forms (including, for example, <a href="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-notebook-overview.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-notebook-overview.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kotlin Notebook</a>).</p> <p>All these technologies can be found in Kotlin and other JetBrains projects. Some of them are well known, others are barely used, but all require a noticeable amount of attention from the team.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The evolution of scripting in Kotlin</h2> <p>Scripting was introduced into Kotlin long ago as an experiment to investigate new ways of using the language. Since then, the development has been driven by the demand of external and internal adopters, as well as some experiments born inside our team. Over time, we accumulated a lot of functionality related to scripting in our codebase, and the effort required to support it grew quite significantly. Therefore, at some point, we started to review the functionality we have, how it is used inside and outside of JetBrains, and how we can distill it into a reasonable minimal subset that we are willing to support and develop without breaking too many existing use cases.</p> <p>This blog post attempts to summarize our findings, explain our decisions, and outline the future directions in this area. We hope it will clarify the future of scripting in Kotlin and give the community a solid basis for making technical decisions.&nbsp;</p> <p>While we already have a firm roadmap for the immediate future, we welcome and appreciate your feedback and ideas for further improvements. We are especially interested in hearing about any particular use cases for scripting that you may have. We encourage you to use comments here or create <a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTrack issues</a> describing your scenarios and how the announced changes may affect them. Your insights are invaluable to us and will play a crucial role in shaping our future plans for the language’s development.</p> <p><p align="center"><a class="ek-link jb-download-button" title="Contribute Your Feedback and Ideas" href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Contribute Your Feedback and Ideas</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Basic scripting</h2> <p>We conducted some research into scripting usage in the past and concluded that besides a few main adoptions, like Gradle build scripts, there is a relatively small number of known uses for scripting and REPL. This might be attributable to various factors, but the result is nonetheless clear: The functionality is not as popular as we had anticipated.</p> <p>Some technological problems could (and will) be addressed, but there are some inherent issues with attempting to position Kotlin as a scripting language.&nbsp;</p> <p>In particular, Kotlin is not an interpreted language, and it cannot achieve the user experience typical for dedicated scripting languages. To achieve the current script-like behavior, we compile the code under the hood. The compilation process is quite intensive because the Kotlin compiler was not designed for such scenarios.&nbsp;</p> <p>That is why we made the following decision:</p> <p>Although we will continue to provide generalized support for scripting in Kotlin, which includes compilation and evaluation of basic `.kts` files, as well as custom scripting (more about this below), we are not prepared to recommend Kotlin scripting as a generally applicable scripting solution, for example, as a replacement for Bash or Python.</p> <p>On the other hand, we believe there are many new usage scenarios where, despite the known limitations, the use of Kotlin scripting could be beneficial. There are also several other potential use cases that we would like to explore further.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Custom script types</h2> <p>The most powerful scripting solutions require extension mechanisms that allow for the customization of script compilation and evaluation. One of the most prominent examples is <a href="https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/kotlin_dsl.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gradle Kotlin DSL</a>, where the Custom Scripting API is used to bring Kotlin language with traditional Gradle DSL to build scripts. This brings us to the second decision:</p> <p>We will continue to support the Custom Scripting API (an unofficial name for a set of APIs for customizing script compilation and evaluation, as well as APIs for embedding script hosts into third-party applications). Therefore:</p> <ul> <li>We are concentrating our efforts on improving the user experience with a few known use cases, in particular Gradle Kotlin DSL and select others.</li> <li>Outside these use cases, the API remains in the experimental state. Hence, things like documentation and IDE support for generic custom script support may continue to lag behind.</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Main.kts</h2> <p>In addition to the basic and custom scripting, we would like to continue supporting `.main.kts` scripts. The `.main.kts` scripts were initially developed to demonstrate the utility of the Custom Scripting API. However, with its support of dependencies and other features, it was adopted by many users as a default Kotlin scripting solution. Therefore, the next decision is:</p> <p>We will continue to develop the `.main.kts` script type, which is already helpful for simple automation tasks. We have plans to extend its functionality and streamline IDE support. Such scripts continue to be supported out of the box in the Kotlin compiler and the Kotlin plugin for IntelliJ IDEA.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kotlin REPL</h2> <p>The default REPL implementation has been a part of the Kotlin compiler (`kotlinc`) and Kotlin plugin for IntelliJ IDEA since the first release. Still, the functionality is limited, and improving it was never a priority for the team. Therefore, the user experience is not on par with the general Kotlin user experience in IntelliJ IDEA. We made several attempts to spin off alternative REPL implementations (e.g. the <a href="https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-interactive-shell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kotlin Interactive Shell</a>), but unfortunately, these never gained enough traction.</p> <p>Meanwhile, we are improving the <a href="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-notebook-overview.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kotlin Notebook</a> plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, which offers a smooth, extensive, and interactive experience working in Kotlin. With Kotlin Notebook, you can develop and experiment with Kotlin code, receive immediate outputs, and visualize data. We believe that it is an excellent replacement for all our current REPL solutions.&nbsp;</p> <p>Besides that, IntelliJ IDEA provides Kotlin <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/scratches.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scratch files</a>, where you can quickly prototype your code. Therefore:</p> <p>We plan to sunset the default REPL implementations in the Kotlin compiler and the IntelliJ IDEA plugin.</p> <ul> <li>CLI REPL (via `kotlinc`) will continue to function at least until the release of Kotlin 2.3, but its operation will be limited to compatibility mode, i.e. with the `-language-version 1.9` option set (and may require an opt-in flag starting from release 2.2).&nbsp;</li> <li>The default Kotlin REPL in the IntelliJ IDEA plugin will be removed in one of the next IntelliJ IDEA releases.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>We will continue to promote the Kotlin Notebook plugin and IDE Scratch files as solutions for interactive Kotlin development.</p> <p>This decision places some uncertainty on the external REPL implementations, like the Kotlin Interactive Shell. Although we plan to keep some REPL-related functionality in the compiler and Custom Scripting API (not least because solutions like Kotlin Notebook rely on them), with a final switch to the K2 compiler, a significant portion of this functionality will be changed or dropped, so it may require substantial effort to rewrite such implementations to the changed APIs.&nbsp;</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other technologies based on Kotlin scripting</h2> <p>Besides these main areas, there are a few other related technologies and APIs for scripting that we are currently supporting. We believe the cases explicitly mentioned above cover a majority of possible user needs. Therefore, we plan to drop most other scripting-related components and libraries from the compiler and IntelliJ IDEA. In particular:</p> <ul> <li>JSR-223 support – considering that the original <a href="https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=223" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JSR</a> is in the withdrawn state, we do not believe supporting the de-facto obsolete API makes sense. The existing implementation will continue to function at least until the release of Kotlin 2.3 in the language version 1.9 compatibility mode (but we may consider renaming the artifact to raise awareness of the planned changes), and it will be dropped after that.</li> <li>`KotlinScriptMojo` – a Maven plugin that supports script execution during the Maven build. We did not find evidence of enough usages to keep maintaining it, so we plan to drop it in one of the next Kotlin releases.</li> <li>`kotlin-scripting-ide-services` – a library for implementing code completion functionality, mainly for REPL implementations. It is currently used in projects like Kotlin Interactive. It is heavily based on the infrastructure of the pre-K2 compiler and cannot be easily ported to the K2 version. Therefore, it will most likely stop working around the release of Kotlin 2.3 and will be removed from the codebase. We may consider reimplementing similar functionality on top of K2 in the future, but for now, this is not something we are actively pursuing.</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Moving forward</h2> <p>We hope the focused approach will allow us to move forward and provide a better experience with widely used scripting technologies. At the same time, it will free some resources for exciting language features and applications. We encourage you to share your use cases for scripting and appreciate your feedback on these changes and how they may affect your work.</p> <p><p align="center"><a class="ek-link jb-download-button" title="Share Your Feedback and Use Cases" href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Share Your Feedback and Use Cases</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What else to read</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-notebook-overview.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-notebook-overview.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kotlin Notebook – documentation</a></li> <li><a href="https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/04/kotlin-dsl-is-the-default-for-new-gradle-builds/" data-type="link" data-id="https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/04/kotlin-dsl-is-the-default-for-new-gradle-builds/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kotlin DSL Is Now the Default for New Gradle Builds</a></li> </ul> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Code Faster with JetBrains AI in PyCharm</title> <link>https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2024/11/code-faster-with-jetbrains-ai-in-pycharm/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Helen Scott]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2024 15:25:51 +0000</pubDate> <featuredImage>https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/pc-featured_blog_1280x720_en.png</featuredImage> <category><![CDATA[ai-assistant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[productivity]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.jetbrains.com/?post_type=pycharm&#038;p=527669</guid> <description><![CDATA[PyCharm 2024.3 comes with many improvements to JetBrains AI to help you code faster.

I’m going to walk you through some of these updates in this blog post.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="Code Faster with JetBrains AI in PyCharm!" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J7BXAv6-70g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Natural language inline AI prompt</h2> <p>You can now use JetBrains AI by typing straight into your editor in natural language without opening the AI Assistant tool window. If you use either IntelliJ IDEA or PyCharm, you might already be familiar with natural language AI prompts, but let me walk you through the process.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you’re typing in the gutter you can start typing your request straight into the editor, and then press <em>Tab</em>. Here’s an example of one such request:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">write a script to capture a date input from a user and print it out prefixed by a message stating that their birthday is on that date.</pre> <p>You can then iterate on the initial input by clicking on the purple block in the gutter or by pressing <em>⌘\ or Ctrl+\</em> and pressing <em>Enter</em>:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">add error handling so that when a birthday is in the future, we dont accept it </pre> <p>You can use&nbsp; <em>⌘\ or Ctrl+\</em> to keep iterating until you’re happy with the result. For example, we can use the prompt:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">print out the day of the week as well as their birthday date</pre> <p>And then:&nbsp;</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">change the format of day_of_week to short</pre> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/code-iterate1.mp4"></video></figure> <p>This feature is available for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and YAML files.</p> <p>Let’s look at some more examples. We can get JetBrains AI Assistant to help us generate new code with a prompt like this:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">Write code that lists the latest polls, shows poll details, handles voting, updates votes, and displays poll results, ensuring only published polls are accessible.</pre> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/add-code-polls1.mp4"></video></figure> <p>Or add some error handling to our code:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">Add edge case handling to this code</pre> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/edge-case-handling.mp4"></video></figure> <p>Remember, context is everything. Where you start your natural language prompt is important, as PyCharm uses the placement of your caret to figure out the context. You don’t need to prefix your query with a ? or $ if you start typing in the gutter because the context is the file, but if your caret is indented, you’ll need to start your query with the ? or $ character so PyCharm knows you’re crafting a natural language query.</p> <p>In this example, we want to refactor existing code, so we need to prefix our query with the ? character:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">?create a dedicated function for printing the schedule and remove the code from here</pre> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/print-example.mp4"></video></figure> <p align="center"> <a class="jb-download-button" href="https://jb.gg/olx3f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Try JetBrains AI for free </a> </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Running code in the Python console</h2> <p>We know that JetBrains AI can generate code for you, but now you can run that code in the Python console without leaving the AI Assistant tool window by clicking the green run arrow.</p> <p>For example, let’s say you have the following prompt:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="md" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">Create a python script that asks for a birthday date in standard format yyy-MM-dd then converts it and prints it back out in a written format such as 22nd January 1991 </pre> <p>You can now click the green run arrow on the top-right of the code snippet to run it in your Python console:</p> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/run-python-code.mp4"></video></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Even more features</h2> <p>In addition to the new functionality for natural language and code completion for PyCharm highlighted above, there are several other improvements to JetBrains AI.&nbsp;</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Faster code completion</h3> <p>We have introduced a <a href="https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2024/10/22/introducing-mellum-jetbrains-new-llm-built-for-developers/">new model for faster cloud-based completion with AI Assistant</a> which is showing very promising results.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Post_Infographics_UPD.png" alt="" class="wp-image-520382"/></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Faster documentation</h3> <p>If documentation isn’t your thing, you can now hand off writing your Python docstrings to JetBrains AI. If you type either single or double quotes to enter a docstring and then press <em>Return</em>, you’ll see a prompt that says <em>Generate with AI Assistant</em>. Click that prompt and let JetBrains AI generate the documentation for you:</p> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/generate-docs.mp4"></video></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Help at your fingertips</h3> <p>We all need a little help now and again, and we can get JetBrains AI to help us here too. We’ve added a /docs prompt to the JetBrains AI tool window. This prompt will query the PyCharm documentation to save you from switching out of the context you’re working in!</p> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getting-help.mp4"></video></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ability to choose your LLM</h3> <p>For AI Chat, you can now select a different LLM from the drop-down menu in the chat window itself. There are lots of options for you to choose from:</p> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/choose-llm.mp4"></video></figure> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">More context in Jupyter notebooks</h3> <p>We’ve also improved how JetBrains AI works for data scientists. JetBrains AI now recognizes DataFrames and variables in your notebook. You can prefix your DataFrame or variable with # so that JetBrains AI considers it as part of the context.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-video"><video controls src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jupyter-hash-code-context.mp4"></video></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Summary</h2> <p>JetBrains AI is available inside PyCharm, right where you need it. This release brings many improvements, from writing in natural language inside the editor and running AI-generated Python snippets in the console to generating documentation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Remember, if you’re in the gutter, you can start typing in natural language and then press Tab to get AI Assistant to generate the code. If you’re inside a method or function, you need to prefix your natural language query with either ? or $. You can then iterate on the generated code as many times as you like as you build out your new functionality and explore further.</p> <p align="center"> <a class="jb-download-button" href="https://jb.gg/olx3f2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Try JetBrains AI for free</a> </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>New Module Layout for sbt Projects</title> <link>https://blog.jetbrains.com/scala/2024/11/19/new-module-layout-for-sbt/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Aleksandra Zdrojowa]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 19 Nov 2024 15:00:19 +0000</pubDate> <featuredImage>https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/cover_NewSbtMode.png</featuredImage> <category><![CDATA[intellij]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sbt]]></category> <category><![CDATA[scala]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.jetbrains.com/?post_type=scala&#038;p=527952</guid> <description><![CDATA[Try out the enhanced sbt integration with IntelliJ Scala Plugin 2024.3 We’re introducing a new mode that better represents the structure of sbt projects in IntelliJ IDEA by organizing main and test sources into separate modules.

The improved layout resolves several issues with compilation and highlighting. It also allows using different compiler options for main and test sources.</p> <p>We strongly encourage you to try out this new functionality and share your feedback! Enable it via <em>Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | sbt</em> and select <em>Create separate modules for production and test sources</em>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Technical background</strong></h2> <p>Each build tool has its own model to represent the project – this includes concepts of modules, dependencies, and much more.When the project is imported to IntelliJ IDEA, it is essential to translate this model into the IDE&#8217;s internal model, which may not perfectly align with the build tool&#8217;s structure.</p> <p>Improperly mapping a given build tool&#8217;s model to IntelliJ IDEA&#8217;s model can lead to issues, such as code compiling when it shouldn&#8217;t (or vice versa) and incorrect highlighting.</p> <p>A significant challenge when mapping the sbt model was the limited distinction between main and test sources. When managing dependencies between two modules, all sources from the dependent module were added to the parent module, making it impossible to include only the main sources. Another issue was configuring separate compiler options for main and test sources.</p> <p>To address these issues, a new approach has been developed for mapping the sbt model to IntelliJ IDEA – creating separate modules for main and test sources.</p> <p></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How it works</strong></h2> <p>For each project declared in the sbt build, two additional modules are created: <code>main</code> and <code>test</code>. They contain the main and test sources, respectively.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="600" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/NewSbtModel-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-527953"/></figure> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1vjburBdjqROkWXfuHmJ21DPT4bw0LRe74CIH9HO8CfIJbfbhXzmwEc8UNyD4HKAVKs9w3OTaOvyh4jm9IUBHaWGy7tur4fMQiVOfB0n1z39itQRPwxKbdYcwyogfgLJ4AajGgA?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p>When the project is reloaded in the new mode, each run configuration that references a module should switch to the corresponding main or test module. This happens automatically when the new mode is activated. In very rare cases, it may not be possible to change the modules in the run configurations automatically. If this happens, a notification will appear, giving you the option to update the run configurations manually. If you miss the notification, you can still update the run configurations by explicitly using the <em>Update Run Configurations to the new module naming scheme</em> action.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd-R3jX00DnEHp-5yW6qElLlVARgj86ilnMktZD1thpc00PWPGMceo1OE3cwRpbd77hn8HR2eTG1Ub30-1b2o5URKU5angI0kFQNFfULS8ItjCpLlYlEgB6vGhrnsNRKhw5eL2uzQ?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key improvements</h2> <p>These examples illustrate the most noticeable changes. However, enabling the new mode also allows for many other improvements, such as more accurate handling of transitive dependencies, support for <code>compile->test</code> dependencies, and better management of <code>-internal</code> configurations.</p> <p></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Different compiler options for </strong>Compile <strong>and </strong>Test <strong>scopes</strong></h3> <p>sbt allows you to declare different compiler options in various configuration scopes. The new project model in IntelliJ IDEA now leverages this capability by recognizing compiler options declared in the <code>Test</code> scope, allowing you to configure different options for <code>Compile</code> and <code>Test</code> scopes in the IDE.</p> <p>For example, if you configure <code>scalacOptions</code> in an sbt project like this:<br><code>Test / scalacOptions += "-Ywarn-value-discard"</code><br>then warnings about discarded values will only be displayed in the test sources.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfJdEOAisDJrU8AEibKxxHLgPUXVI99CmZ28KZI9ewyetZxe9KIo9oFb039zBaPdffdvEKunv9RSI41TUIdbNN6S3B5sWJ-NFYckapbQ-W1NKf9eo5eU0O0rktZ6Xm72k_HDwZ5WHsnx2CZ0lLW3hg2Rkb4?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p>If you configure the options in the Compile scope like this:<br><code>Compile / scalacOptions += "-Ywarn-value-discard"</code><br>then warnings can be displayed both in the main and test sources.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXek1xieW841SwTBcNCUlCN3ERqM36lYp9FiH3lwHNOQ08t_7qlcEMtxkkuD8xPiuXaChuzQzuJ2DLT7jOZ-SwhHE4fMaWWfLy4iauKCuKcyHs_uUT9ltTu-UgKSlSJrTyUmVAJ16Sj652mBA4Lrf5nIBvI?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Compile scope project dependencies</h3> <p>Keeping main and test sources in separate modules allows for a more accurate representation of dependencies. This is particularly significant for classpath dependencies, which are always per-configuration in sbt.</p> <p>Let’s consider a very common dependency example:<br><code>core.dependsOn(foo)</code><br>which is always resolved to <br><code>core.dependsOn(foo %”compile->compile”)</code></p> <p>When separate modules for main and sources are created, this dependency resolves so that both <code>core.main</code> and <code>core.test</code> modules contain only the <code>core.foo.main</code> dependency. None of the core modules has <code>foo.test</code> in its dependencies, which is a proper sbt representation.</p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe2iYcTJClU2Rds-X5GGCwKIa-mTbmoOzbEDZCaT67LwzbaaKQeitU1vxcX7ThrEF3bEWXb5o0YeNrjvQ9xdFlvLRAwm0FGS9OcJpxOzwlG2y_seL2V__Y5LFyv6xOopPazbVbWi0LV97kJaVE0uquTj93p?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeZfdKyTuMXT92IXf4A_-ExS9JwRukW93YSNtk4mMs27gYPMQmkj282i7lkrPAcoFsAO1jOXATCVIc1NAv9uZTdPPT14xWKAxat3VWTLFVRolCjmXD89t_EBrUFiRe3-7iRobbtBF0Jbw1NciZ_NysynILS?key=BBPvRXeK-pdBwAsikOnywGmF" style="width: 900px;"></p> <p>It’s worth mentioning that in the old implementation, the core module included the entire <code>foo</code> module.

Here are the two major ones that deserve special attention:</p> <h2>Icon handling</h2> <p>Icons and images that use a path relative to the module are no longer copied during generation next to the places of their individual usage. Instead, they are copied to the distribution module once as image files and are available for use at this single location. This has two immediate benefits: avoiding the duplication of image files to save disk space and the ability to access the images both from the distribution and from the source module.</p> <h2>Constant icons</h2> <p>In addition to the existing <i>TextIcon</i> and <i>FileIcon</i> concepts, a new <i>ConstantFieldIcon</i> concept has become available. It allows an icon to be specified by reference to a concrete static field declaration holding an instance of <i>javax.swing.Icon</i>.</p> <h2>TextGen binary outcome</h2> <p>Inspired by the need for the improved handling of icon files, there is now a new mechanism to produce binary output during the TextGen process instead of text. The new API consists of a write operation that directly manipulates data as instances of <i>byte[]</i>.</p> <h2>Numerous bug fixes</h2> <p>You can find a full list of the issues we’ve fixed <a href="https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/MPS?q=state:Resolved%20version:%20%7B2024.3%20EAP1%7D%20%20order%20by:%20Priority%20%20&#038;_ga=2.231099997.350008667.1687951340-393819702.1681896790&#038;_gl=1*183w1l3*_ga*MzkzODE5NzAyLjE2ODE4OTY3OTA.*_ga_9J976DJZ68*MTY4Nzk2NjcyOS4zMC4xLjE2ODc5Njc0MzYuNy4wLjA." target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> <p>This is only the first EAP release.

To understand the existing codebase of an application, developers spend a good amount of time looking at how various frameworks and libraries are configured and how different components interact with each other.</p> <p>While developing JetBrains AI Assistant, we enriched prompts with context extracted from file links and dependencies. This context proved valuable for both AI and human understanding.</p> <p>In this article, you will learn:</p> <ul> <li>How our R&amp;D on AI Assistant led to redesigning the <em>Structure </em>tool window.</li> <li>How to use the new <em>Structure </em>tool window’s <em>Logical </em>view to explore and understand your existing codebase.</li> <li>How you can perform various context-relevant actions from the <em>Structure </em>tool window itself.</li> </ul> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Background</h2> <p>AI assistants can produce disappointing results when asked to generate or explain code. This is because they can lack the rich context that developers are aware of. A project is not just code. It’s a complex interplay of components, both explicit like method calls, and implicit, defined by the framework being used. Understanding these intricate connections is crucial for accurate AI assistance.</p> <p>To get the best results from AI Assistant, we need to describe all this context to it. This same context would be invaluable for developers. In IntelliJ IDEA, the main code navigation tool is the <em>Project</em> tool window. It provides a code-level view of the project, including folders, packages, and files. Though familiar, the <em>Project</em> tool window doesn’t show links between code components. Developers have to figure those out themselves by looking for class usages for explicit links and reading the framework documentation for implicit ones.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, IntelliJ IDEA knows a lot about project internals. While implementing support for a language or framework in the IDE, we, as developers, have to understand how a technology works under the hood. For example, if you open a file from the project implemented with the Spring Boot framework, you’ll see components like bean indicators, injection points, and web API endpoints.</p> <p>We recently introduced an internal API to implement <em>domain context providers</em> – code that can collect extended information about a project structure, used tech stack, etc. The first step was to provide better context for AI Assistant. We conducted R&amp;D by seamlessly enriching prompts with the information from domain providers – this showed good results!</p> <p>The second step involved using this information to show the code structure from the framework perspective. In IntelliJ IDEA, the <em>Structure</em> tool window presents the structure of a selected file. We decided to enhance this window and add a <em><a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-structure-of-a-source-file.html#logical-structure" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-structure-of-a-source-file.html#logical-structure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Logical</a></em> view, which illustrates the file structure from the framework point of view. This means that you can now see how a selected piece of code, such as a file or class, is connected to other parts of the application. This context is sometimes more valuable than the code itself because it helps you understand how an application works.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Structure </em>tool window redesign</h2> <p>Let’s explore a Spring Boot application to learn how the new <em>Structure </em>tool window provides better insights into your application by providing a logical structure of the components, indicating how they all work together.</p> <p>The entry point of any Spring Boot application is the main application class annotated with <code>@SpringBootApplication</code>. The class code’s physical structure is simple:</p> <pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="java" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">@SpringBootApplication public class BlogApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(BlogApplication.class, args); } }</pre> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="440" height="145" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/spring-boot-app-physical.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524982"/></figure></div> <p>The magic of Spring Boot is hidden in bean configurations – classes that instantiate required services based on various conditions and put them into the Spring context. Now, we can see it!</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="597" height="469" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/spring-boot-app-logical.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524971"/></figure></div> <p>Domain context providers know which configurations are scanned and which beans are instantiated by bean configuration – it’s all revealed in the structure.</p> <p>Now, let’s take a look at how the <em>Structure </em>tool window shows the logical view of a Spring Boot REST controller.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="552" height="340" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-10.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524925"/></figure></div> <p>The <em>Structure </em>tool window displays the autowired Spring beans in the <code>Autowires</code> node and the API endpoints defined in the controller class. When you click on any API endpoint, you will be taken to that method in the editor. You can also click on the API gutter icon to invoke that API endpoint in the HTTP Client.</p> <p>The Spring Framework provides event publishing and consuming capabilities using <code>ApplicationEventPublisher</code>. If the selected Spring bean publishes events using <code>ApplicationEventPublisher</code>, you can see these details under the <code>Publishers</code> node.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="579" height="312" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-11.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524936"/></figure></div> <p>Similarly, if the Spring bean implements event listeners using <code>@EventListener</code>, the listeners’ details are shown under the <code>Listeners</code><strong> </strong>node.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="585" height="277" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-12.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524947"/></figure></div> <p>Let’s take another example: JPA entities.</p> <p>The <em>Structure</em> tool window also provides a <em>Logical </em>view of JPA entities by providing a lot of context, such as the column mappings, relationship with other entities, Spring Data JPA repositories associated with the entity, and related DTOs and projections:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="555" height="474" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/image-13.png" alt="" class="wp-image-524958"/></figure></div> <p>If you select the Entity node, you can see the DDL gutter icon which you can use to generate an SQL script to create the table.</p> <p>Similarly, IntelliJ IDEA provides a <em>Logical </em>view for other Spring components like MVC controllers, services, repositories, and configuration classes.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://blog.jetbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/structure-tool-window.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-524996"/></figure></div> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2> <p>An application&#8217;s complex structure consists of various parts, including code, dependencies, build processes, and deployment scripts. A solid grasp of the connections between these components is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the application’s architecture and functionality.&nbsp;</p> <p>By introducing domain context providers, we can explain the code structure from another point of view, revealing hidden framework-specific connections between various components. This can be useful for AI Assistant, so its answers could be improved, as well as for developers to help them understand the code better.</p> <p>The redesigned <em>Structure </em>tool window’s <em>Logical</em> view allows you to see the application structure and navigate through linked components. The context-specific actions associated with the selected component make it easy to perform various tasks right from the <em>Structure </em>tool window itself.</p> <p>Currently, the IDE supports Jakarta EE and Spring, and we plan to expand this support to other technologies like frameworks, build tools, and Docker configuration files.</p> <p>You can find the official documentation for <em>Logical</em> <em>structure</em> <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-structure-of-a-source-file.html#logical-structure" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-structure-of-a-source-file.html#logical-structure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> .</p> <p>The redesigned <em>Structure </em>tool window is available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2024.3, and the context-relevant actions support will be available from version 2024.3.1.
