Keeping Pace with the Newer Java Versions. By Mala Gupta (2021)

With IntelliJ IDEA s 4month release cycle, JetBrains has adapted well to Java s 6month release cycle. Uptodate support for new language features in the IDE ensures that it s always easy for developers to play with the new features. IntelliJ IDEA sets a fairly high bar for itself in terms of supporting new Java features. IntelliJ IDEA supports not only error highlighting and code completion, but also build tools for automatic migration to new code constructs. It adapts its existing set of inspections and code assistance tools so that they correctly interact with the new features and make use of them when appropriate. From this talk you ll take away how to use the latest language features, how they work with the existing coding assistance in IntelliJ IDEA, and how you can improve your code by using these features.
