JetBrains announced that Java and Kotlin by IntelliJ IDEA, an LSP-based extension, has reached Release Candidate stage. The extension brings IntelliJ IDEA’s Java and Kotlin language intelligence to third-party editors like VS Code and Cursor. Since the preview, it has been downloaded over 20,000 times and includes features such as smart code completion, navigation, inspections, quick-fixes, project-wide refactorings, DAP-based debugging, Maven, Gradle, and Bazel project support, built-in test running, and Spring tooling interoperability. The RC is the final EAP build and will be available for 30 days without a license; after the stable release, a 30-day free trial will be offered, then an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate subscription is required. The extension also makes its intelligence available to coding agents in Cursor, enabling semantic code search and analysis.


### [RustRover vs VS Code + rust-analyzer: What Changes in Your Rust Workflow](https://yomu.fyi/post/rustrover-vs-vs-code-rust-analyzer-what-changes-in-your-rust-workflow.md)

This post compares RustRover and VS Code with the rust-analyzer extension for Rust development, detailing their architectural differences. VS Code, a general-purpose editor, relies on the rust-analyzer language server to provide completion, diagnostics, inlay hints, navigation, quick-fixes, and refactoring. RustRover is a dedicated professional IDE using JetBrains’ own analysis engine that builds a model of crates, dependencies, targets, and code structure from the Cargo workspace, with built-in debugging, testing, and version control. Key differences include RustRover’s integrated debugger versus VS Code’s need for an extension like CodeLLDB, and RustRover’s project-wide refactoring with affected-usage review. AI assistant capabilities also differ, with RustRover offering agent-driven tasks through Air and JetBrains AI while VS Code supports inline suggestions and agent providers like Copilot. The post offers a five-step migration guide for VS Code users and concludes the choice depends on whether one prefers a modular editor or an integrated IDE experience.
