About reports
Andrey Kogun opens the meeting, recalling the upcoming conferences (
SnowOne February 29, 2020 in Novosibirsk,
DevOops April 29-30, 2020 and
JPoint May 15-16, 2020 in Moscow) and introducing the speakers.
In the first part of the meeting, Ivan spoke about the motives for migrating code from
Java to
Kotlin , about the sequence of steps for doing this, about the pitfalls of using the built-in
IntelliJ IDEA converter, about his recommendations based on the experience gained, mentioning the advantages and disadvantages of migrating to
Kotlin .
After the break, Yuri presented a report on writing plugins for
IntelliJ IDEA . The report was an extended version of his presentation at the recent
Joker 2019 conference. Since on the first day of the conference
I was not able to get to Yuri's report, on the weekend before the meeting
jug.msk.ru watched a video of the speech. I recommend that you pay close attention to the last four slides of
the newer version of the report :
- added link to chat in Slack regarding plug-in development;
- announced the installation of plugins in IntelliJ IDEA without restarting (cheers!);
- future actions regarding the deprecated API are listed;
- New features in the upcoming IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3 Ultimate release.
In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, there was the opportunity to talk during the break and after meeting both with the speakers and with the participants of the
JetBrains development team who were present in the hall.
