JetBrains creates open-source IntelliJ IDEA

By Alex Handy

October 15, 2009 — With NetBeans and Eclipse as its main competitors, the main way that IntelliJ IDEA has remained apart from those other IDEs is by being closed source. That changed today, as JetBrains announced that IntelliJ is now available in two forms, one of which will now be free.

The Community Edition of IntelliJ IDEA will not only be free, but it also includes the source code for the IDE. The Ultimate Edition will still be available commercially, and will include the numerous enterprise and Web tools needed for larger projects.

“We've supported hundreds of open-source projects with free product licenses, contributed code to various open-source projects like Groovy and Scala, and developed several open-source IntelliJ IDEA plugins ourselves,” said Sergey Dmitriev, JetBrains CEO.

“So, you can see how offering the IntelliJ IDEA experience for free, through an open-source license, goes hand in hand with our focus on the community. Open source has become the mainstream, and we continue to embrace it as an exciting challenge. In brief, we're not changing direction—we're moving forward.”

IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition is available at JetBrains' website. Both editions of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA are based on version 9.0 of the IDE, which includes support for the Apache Tapestry framework, Java EE 6 and JSF 2.0.
