As any JEE interested developer I’ve heard lots of praise aimed at JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. And then it became open source… Of course I tried it out right away and was shocked how brilliant it was. Some days ago version 9.0 was introduced – still with both an open source and an normal proprietary license. I really love how they offer their IDE for free to open source developers – they’d get the “full” version, whereas anyone can download a little slimmed down version: the “Community Edition”.

Some days ago while surfing their website I noticed that there is an “Classroom License”, that allows any student of an University to use IntelliJ’s full version – but only for the purpose of learning etc, no commercial stuff of course.

After some mailing here and there… Mgr. Szymon Bobek helped me out and got the license for us :-) Now I’m both really proud and happy to know that any student at AGH University of Science and Technology can use IDEA (if they want to), and that I was the little “spark” that started out this chain reaction that ended up being a small yet very pleasing “firework”… :-)

Well then…
Off to my exams and Java coding!
