Intellij 2022.3 highlights

 JetBrains just release its quarterly update to its flagship IntelliJ IDE. 

Highlight is a new UI preview, which gives the tool a simpler, VS Code like look. It is probably intended to make the community more familiar with the looks of the next generation Fleet API. Underneath the general overhaul, many of the second level structures remained the same, so the new UI quickly feels familiar and all your keyboard shortcuts still work.

Additionally we get support for:

  • a action that generating code for autowiring beans for containers like Jakarta EE and Spring. When using a class that can be autowired, IntelliJ will add an attribute and initialise it through constructor injection
  • easier OpenAPI definition generation
  • library name/version completion when adding Gradle dependencies
  • Jakarta EE 10 support
  • HTTP client improvements
  • Better Vue component support

JetBrains also released a preview of a testing tool: Aqua.There is also an Aqua plugin for IntelliJ, which I needed to install to work with Cucumber. So, it looks like they factored out testing functions in a plugin and built a more focussed product targeted at testers around it, like they did with WebStorm for web development.
