How come IntelliJ still runs on Java 8?

Answered

Now that Java 9, 10 & 11 are out, I'm kind of confused about why IntelliJ itself still runs on JDK/JRE 8.

Does this mean plugin developers are limited to using Java 8 for the moment?

What are the plans for this going forward?

Hello,

Java 9 and 10 will not be supported for long, see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html.

We will provide JetBrains JDK based on OpenJDK 11.
