IntelliJ IDEA

The program for IntelliJ IDEA Conf 2026 spans the technologies, tools, and trends shaping modern JVM development. Across two days, you'll find sessions on AI-powered development, Java and Kotlin, Spring AI, Quarkus, Jakarta EE, GraalVM, Maven, Docker, IntelliJ IDEA, developer productivity, and the role of developer communities in open source.  Whether you're interested in building AI-powered applications, improving your development workflow, or exploring what's next for the JVM ecosystem, there's something on the agenda for you. 👉 Explore the full program and register: https://jb.gg/8ze72y Ana-Maria Mihalceanu 👓 Anton Arhipov Oleg Šelajev Holly Cummins James Ward 🎩 Baruch Sadogursky Viktor Gamov Ivar Grimstad Mark Pollack Thomas Wuerthinger Maarten Mulders Josh Long

A virtual assistant that handles the day-to-day stuff you don't want to deal with, checking your emails, scheduling tasks, preparing documents, all from a simple chat message. In our latest IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talk, Ronald Dehuysser, the creator of JobRunr, joins us to talk about ClawRunr: an open-source Java-based personal assistant that combines AI with background job scheduling. You chat with it in natural language, it figures out what to do, and Spring AI and JobRunr handle the rest. Ronald walks us through setting up ClawRunr and shares what he learned taking it from a vibe-coded idea to an extensible demo app, including why having solid architecture in place first made all the difference for agent-style development, and why handing off as much as possible to the AI beats coding everything yourself.

Still hand-writing JPA entities from an existing database? 🤯 What if your IDE could generate a clean Hibernate model in seconds instead of hours? ⚡ Hibernate 7.4 brings reverse engineering back in a modern way, and IntelliJ IDEA makes the workflow smooth from database schema to production-ready entities. If you're working with legacy databases or starting from an existing schema, this is worth checking out. 👇 https://jb.gg/zal3qr #Java #SpringBoot #Hibernate #IntelliJIDEA #JPA

Is Java about to become one of the best platforms for AI development? In the latest episode of The Marco Show, Josh Long, Spring Developer Advocate, shares his perspective on why the JVM ecosystem is uniquely positioned for the next wave of AI applications, why Python is no longer the obvious default, and why generating more code with AI isn't necessarily making developers more productive. 📺 Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dJuzxaq6 Also available on your favorite podcast platforms.

Spring AI 2 sets a new baseline for AI development in Java, and I think it deserves a dedicated series. The first episode covers ChatClient, its core configuration, and what actually happens inside an LLM during text generation—all running locally with Ollama, so no API keys required. If you enjoy it, your support will help keep the series going. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/gSnKN3Gm #SpringAI #Java #Ollama #LLM #SpringBoot

AI is reshaping JVM development, and it's one of the key themes of IntelliJ IDEA Conf 2026. Across two days, engineers and developer advocates from Oracle, JetBrains, Docker, Inc, Tessl, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Confluent will share practical approaches to building AI-powered applications, working with coding agents, securing AI-assisted workflows, and integrating AI into modern JVM development. The program features sessions on Java for AI, spec-driven development with AI agents, Spring AI, Docker sandboxes for AI coding assistants, and two live AI framework face-offs – Codepocalypse Now: LangChain4j vs JetBrains Koog and RoboCoders: Judgment Day: AI Agents Face Off.  If you're building AI-powered applications or exploring how AI is changing developer workflows, you'll find practical insights and real-world experience throughout the conference. 👉 Register now: https://jb.gg/8ze72y Ana-Maria Mihalceanu 👓 Anton Arhipov Oleg Šelajev James Ward 🎩 Baruch Sadogursky Viktor Gamov Thomas Wuerthinger

Skills are a great way to bring specific knowledge into your AI. But how do you manage your skills? James Ward built SkillsJars to manage your skill.md files like any other dependency. In this IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talk, James walks us through how to treat your skill.md files like dependencies: version them, consume them in coding assistants and custom agents, scan them for security issues, and publish them via skillsjars.com or through Maven and Gradle. If you're working with AI agents and coding assistants, this is worth your time. 🎥 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/dP_ysZk9
