25 Years of IntelliJ IDEA – Growing Together With the Java Community

Summary

For 25 years, IntelliJ IDEA has grown alongside the Java ecosystem – shaped not just by technology, but by the people behind it. In this keynote, we’ll reflect on how close collaboration with the Java community helped IntelliJ IDEA evolve from a developer-focused idea into a tool trusted by millions. From early support for new Java features to active participation in OpenJDK, the JCP, and Java User Groups, JetBrains has always built tools with the community, not just for it. Looking ahead, we’ll share how JetBrains continues to support the Java ecosystem through open tools, deep ecosystem integration, and long-term commitment to developer productivity – as Java and its community keep moving forward together.
