It's written with swing.  I can't find the reference, but they don't use any third party modules with it.

Swing provides a Look & Feel system which allows developers to change the way Swing controls look. It is used in IntelliJ IDEA UI.

Also check the intellij-community-master\platform\util\ui\src\com\intellij\util\ui package specifically.
