# IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA is the premier IDE for Java and Kotlin. v2025.1 introduces **Java 24** support, **K2 Mode** (Beta/Stable), and a unified **AI Assistant**.

## When to Use

- **Java/Kotlin**: Unbeatable refactoring and static analysis.
- **Spring Boot**: Deep understanding of Spring beans and endpoints.
- **Large Monorepos**: Indexing is smarter and incremental.

## Core Concepts

### Indexing

IntelliJ builds a massive index of your code. This enables "Find Usages" to be instant and 100% accurate.

### Intentions (Alt+Enter)

The magic key. Fixes warnings, optimizes imports, converts Java to Kotlin.

### Run Configurations

Powerful system to launch apps, tests, and docker containers.

## Best Practices (2025)

**Do**:

- **Enable K2 Mode**: If using Kotlin, the new frontend compiler is much faster.
- **Use "Search Everywhere"**: Double-shift (`Shift-Shift`) finds files, classes, actions, and settings.
- **Share Run Configs**: Check `.run/` configurations into Git so the team shares launch setups.

**Don't**:

- **Don't disable indexing**: Let it finish. The IDE is dumb without it.
