JetBrains has released IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1, an update to the company’s flagship IDE that offers a new way to run applications from the IDE. The new version also improves Kotlin support and adds support for Java 16.
Published on April 6, IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1 is the first release of the IDE this year. Highlighting the release is a new way to run applications from inside the IDE, whereby developers can edit the run configuration of an application or test to set the run target—a Docker container, an SSH server, or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), in this initial version. Previously, apps would be run locally, with all settings from the IDE.
