Credential persistence in the IntelliJ SDK comes down to three moving parts: Attributes, PasswordSafe, and Credentials. Here's how they connect.

Róbert Novotný@novotnyr.bsky.social · last mo.

Passwords and alike in IntelliJ plugins belong in the PasswordSafe. But credentials need to be handled off the EDT, and a few API elements needs to click together. The IntelliJ Platform SDK docs now cover this with updated best practices and Kotlin examples. 📄 plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intelli...

Debouncing search text field updates? Too many file system events occurring too quickly? IntelliJ SDK 2026.2 has DebouncedUpdates – an event coalescing mechanism. Supports last-only mode, collection into a list, and it’s aware of the UI and coroutine lifecycle. platform.jetbrains.com/t/introducin...

sdkmanrc entries can be autocompleted in JetBrains IDEs with this tiny plugin by @sivalabs.in plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/30654.... And, iIt's a nice example of basic autocompletion in the IntelliJ SDK. github.com/sivaprasadre...

I can now edit my IntelliJ plugin description directly from the Marketplace UI. ✏️ No need to upload a new plugin version with a modified plugin.xml. The IntelliJ Platform SDK docs have been updated, too. plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/marketp...

An IntelliJ SDK plugin with a configurable settings pane that is Split Mode-aware is now clearer. @halirutan.bsky.social and @picimako have a short guide to handle this. TL;DR: If the Settings UI directly modifies the persisted project state, keep the related `Configurable` on the backend.

Almost missed the fact that AI Chats in #IntelliJIDEA can finally be moved to editor windows (and back). Feels like more air.

And there's a sample plugin, too! Storing an API key, with Settings UI pane. Kotlin UI DSL, with proper concurrency and Configurable lifecycle handling. github.com/JetBrains/pl...

1/11 An IntelliJ Platform 2026.2 roundup for plugin authors: docs got clearer, two components moved out of the bundle, and there are API details to review before updating.

JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and CSS support are now available without subscription for IntelliJ Platform plugin developers. Plugins can access PSI and related language support features in the free IDE. youtube.com/shorts/QYEdG...

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 is out and I love the tab-tab completion. Excellent for Java bean boilerplate.

New video: Plugin Model v2 for IntelliJ Platform plugins. A plugin is now split into content modules, each with its own descriptor, dependencies, and classloader. It leads to better reload, clear dependencies and paves a way for Remote Development. 🎥 youtu.be/Kfsu0ITcvs0 #JetBrains #IntelliJSDK
