Does IntelliJ Community edition no longer exist?

Hi,

The Community Edition can be downloaded in the bottom of the download page(scroll down a bit): https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/  , you can also download it from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/other.html .

IntelliJ IDEA Community is available as usual and there are no any plans to discontinue it.

You can also install it conveniently from JetBrains Toolbox, not only from the website.

NO, YOU CANNOT DO THAT!! Latest version refuses to start, older versions start fine. Trying to un install and reinstall via toolbox does not work, since the community edition is not available in the toolbox any more!! So there is no way to run existing installation, and no way to install new and latest version reuses to start It is simply NON EXISTENT!

Also note that only IDEA Ultimate are available to install in the Toolbox!!!

Version 1.5 which I also have available in Toolbox does start, but not latest.

I only use IDE for hobby/Open Source code at GitHub. I'm not a company earning money on my code. Thereby I cannot afford the Ultimate edition. This is a gigantic disappointment! Many years ago I was running a one man company and did pay for the ultimate edition, and kept paying for it even after my company was inactive. It was mostly used for open source code even when my company was active.  But being on 100% sick leave I can no longer afford to pay for this IDE, and the community edition was enough for my needs. This really hurts bad!

IntelliJ IDEA Community is available as before both on site and via Toolbox application, nothing changed in this regard

Here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/ may be scroll page a bit down

And also in Toolbox, nothing changed

If that is the case then there is a big incompatibility with Mac OS 14.3 since only older versions of IDEA will start on 14.3!

OK, you win! :-) I installed a virtual machine with MacOS 14.3 and then installed the toolbox and then IDEA 2023.3.3. It worked fine! So I need to uninstall all IDEA stuff on main machine and then re-instal.

Something in the upgrade of MacOS procedure must have interfered with the Toolbox installation. In my test I installed Toolbox after upgrading to 14.3.  

And YES, I can be very stubborn! Sorry!

You can download the Community Edition here:

I'm not sure why but I am using windows 11 and intellij IDEA ,my code will not run and it is correct.  I am a student and I need this for the upcoming semester Jan 6, it has been giving me the wrong info for the last two codes.  I'm not sure, if I should uninstall and reinstall.  Help me please, here is a copy of my code.    public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //20 array == An array where each element is an array
        //          Useful for storing a matrix of data


   String[][] groceries = {{"apple", "orange", "banana", "kiwi",},
                           {"potato", "onion", "carrot"},
                           {"chicken", "pork", "beef", "fish"}};


   groceries[1][2] = "celery";                  //this changes the array in position

   for (String[] foods : groceries) {
       for (String food : foods) {
           System.out.println(food + " ");

       }

        System.out.println();
   }
    }


}

Hello, I'm sorry to revive an old thread but have you done it this time?

2025.3 doesn't have the community option

My co-worker doesn't have a license for Ultimate, so I was trying to help him find it and I couldn't find it as well.

I also kept the community version installed in parallel through the Toolbox to help other devs set up the projects in the community version, but it seems that I now have the ultimate version twice?

You can download the IDEA Open Source installers from https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/releases .

Can I still build an open source version of IntelliJ IDEA?

The source code remains on GitHub, and we are fully committed to maintaining it. In addition, we will publish open-source builds to GitHub Releases and provide ready-to-use CI/CD pipelines powered by GitHub Actions, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and productive open-source collaboration.

More details are available here.

Thanks for the replies!

Since nobody replied to me in the announcement blog post, here is my question:

I remember it was not possible to have two JetBrains IDEs using different licenses (I tried using WebStorm with my personal license and IntelliJ with my work license in the past and it was not possible. I had to merge both).

Does that change with this? Because as a tech leader I still need both separate installations. One with the ultimate subscription and one with no subscription so I know what to expect and can help other devs in my company that don’t have the license.

Guilherme Taffarel Bergamin  please check https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-35538/Support-different-licenses-for-different-IDEs, it's not fixed yet.

2 years old, duplicate of a 4 years old one (marked as fixed even though it was not fixed) and still not implemented.

Well I guess I'll have to get a VM just so I can have the normal IntelliJ without a subscription :/

But thanks for sharing the link!

it has already been answered in this article: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/12921496468626-Does-IntelliJ-Community-edition-no-grow a gardenlonger-exist

The issue still not solved yet: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-35538/Support-different-licenses-for-different-beads-out-IDEs

Tasharnminaj I see IJPL-35538 was marked duplicate of IJPL-35540 which suggests using the linked accounts in JetBrains account settings - https://account.jetbrains.com/profile-details/linked-emails.
