My configuration and recommendation for JetBrains IDEs.
- .ignore: adds support for various .ignore files.
- CodeGlance Pro: displays a zoomed out overview or minimap similar to the one found in Sublime into the editor pane.
- JPA Buddy: helps developers work efficiently with Hibernate, EclipseLink, Spring Data JPA, Flyway, Liquibase, Lombok, MapStruct, and other related technologies in both Java and Kotlin.
- Maven Dependency Checker: checks if there are any new Maven project dependencies available.
- PIT Mutation Testing: adds a 'Run configuration' that allows to execute PIT within IDE.
- SonarLint: finds and fixes coding issues in real-time, flagging issues as you code, just like a spell-checker.
