@novotnyr.bsky.socialPreventing IDE UI freezes is a collab between JetBrains and plugin authors.
Marketplace now shows plugin-attributed freeze reports.
1. Enable reporting in plugin.xml
2. Observe Freeze tab on Marketplace
3. Use analyze-freeze skill by @halirutan.bsky.social
@novotnyr.bsky.socialAnd there's an open-source fork of SwingX, updated and maintained at github.com/wumpz/swingx
@novotnyr.bsky.socialSwingX is no longer bundled with the IntelliJ Platform as of 2026.3. The Platform SDK and UI components already provide similar features. If your plugin still needs SwingX, provide the library explicitly.

@novotnyr.bsky.socialEither is fine! As long as it gets you started. Btw instead of the template, the New | IDE Plugin wizard is very simple, really minimalistic and builds upon everything. From there, you can AI onwards.
@novotnyr.bsky.socialLooks good! Did you start from the New Plugin Generator in the IDE or was it AI-bootstrapped?
@novotnyr.bsky.socialWoah, I didn't realize how much has happened during past months. Thanks for summarizing this.

@novotnyr.bsky.socialCredential persistence in the IntelliJ SDK comes down to three moving parts: Attributes, PasswordSafe, and Credentials. Here's how they connect.
@novotnyr.bsky.socialDebouncing search text field updates? Too many file system events occurring too quickly?
IntelliJ SDK 2026.2 has DebouncedUpdates – an event coalescing mechanism. Supports last-only mode, collection into a list, and it’s aware of the UI and coroutine lifecycle. platform.jetbrains.com/t/introducin...
@novotnyr.bsky.socialsdkmanrc entries can be autocompleted in JetBrains IDEs with this tiny plugin by @sivalabs.in

@novotnyr.bsky.socialI can now edit my IntelliJ plugin description directly from the Marketplace UI. ✏️
No need to upload a new plugin version with a modified plugin.xml.
The IntelliJ Platform SDK docs have been updated, too.
