Junie has been amazing for me, completely replaced my payments for Claude Code and Cursor. And it was free (until today). It's the least aggressive agent i've used, no complete re-writes or even close, And is able to achieve about 95% of what I ask of it The only downside - which might be fixed in the newest release - is that it completely forgets context between messages - even in the same message window. But that f…

Is there a way to use Claude within the Jetbrains IDEs? I have a Jetbrains IDE license, and a Claude subscription, but I couldn't find an integration. To use Claude and have it integrated I need to subscribe to Jebtbrains AI instead, but then I don't have Claude in the browser anymore.

the Jetbrains AI assistant plugin lets you choose which model to use.

just don’t install the plugin

It's automatically installed and bundled with the IDE. You can disable it, but to uninstall fully you have to manually delete files from each and every IDE installation

that was a bug that we used to have in an early version of AI Assistant, that has been fixed. You can normally disable and uninstall the plugin now

I just downloaded IntelliJ community edition yesterday to try Kotlin. I wonder if this applies to it or only to premium version.

Community editions don't get the free tier, only paid editions.

I see. Thanks!

I'd be a lot more excited about this if I weren't paying for a crappy VSCode clone.

Visual Studio Code was first released in 2015; Intellij (the original JetBrains IDE) was first released in 2001. Even Atom -- the editor that Microsoft forked to make VSCode -- had its first public release in 2014. It's safe to say that JetBrains IDEs are something other than "crappy VSCode clones."

I think OP might be hinting at cursor.

I understand the confusion as I was confused myself for the same reason. I also attributed that to my english language level. But I think they just used title-case[1] [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_case

Short, minor words are usually not capitalized, as stated in the wiki article; esp. if they would cause confusion!

As far as I know, that rule doesn't apply to verbs. Do you have a style guide that indicates otherwise? I know it looks like I'm trying to correct someone's grammar online, but I'm legitimately trying to learn. Your comment made me curious so I searched for a bit but couldn't come up with anything.

I happily pay.

And I continue to use NetBeans, VS Code, Eclipse as needed (or desired).

eg Mike Lischke's (awesome) ANTLR4 plugin for VS Code has features not in Terr Parr's (et al) IntelliJ extension (and vice versa).

Switching back and forth is nothing sauce.

How does JetBrains AI compare to Cursor?

I think they're getting there but missing big features like a high quality "Apply" workflow and next-edit predictions. I'm working with two of my friends to fill the missing pieces as a JetBrains plugin: https://docs.sweep.dev/

That's cool that you're looking at those things. I hope we've made progress on "Apply" (and we're doing more.) And as heads-up, as you can imagine, we're looking at NEP.

Dumb question? How come in PyCharm when I go to update, it only offers me v2024.3.5 and not v2025.1?

Where are you updating from? Toolbox, or from the website? I'm seeing 2025.1 in both, so you might have some caching if you're checking the website.

The Help..Check for Updates in PyCharm. I got Toolbox, so, problem worked around. Thanks.

Yes, but you need to pay the license to them. I guess I'll switch, it's just silly that there isn't an official integration
