IntelliJ isn't closed source, it's on GitHub, under an open license. As are most of the premium IDE plugins from JetBrains.","comments":[{"id":15440183,"user":"pjmlp","time":1507623305,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Only the community edition code.","comments":[{"id":15440622,"user":"kuschku","time":1507629807,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Plus 90% of the addons.

Only a handful of them aren’t.","comments":[{"id":15440774,"user":"pjmlp","time":1507632578,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

So how do you compile the add-ons that require the closed source part?","comments":[{"id":15440921,"user":"kuschku","time":1507635216,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

You don’t, you don’t need them, and Android Studio doesn’t include them either.

You can have all the features of Android Studio in all the languages I mentioned just with the open plugins.","comments":[{"id":15441009,"user":"pjmlp","time":1507636453,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

No, because Google has changed the way wizards work, which means any plugin needs to be developed explicitly for Android Studio as well.

As proof of this, the Flutter team just released a version of their plugins for Android Studio.

Android Studio also includes bits of CLion for example.","comments":[{"id":15441256,"user":"kuschku","time":1507639226,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Are you deliberately trying to ignore what I’ve been saying?

My argument was that you can take IntelliJ’s open edition, with its plugins for C++/C, etc, slightly modify it, and get the same functionality as you’d have in Android Studio for more languages than just Android.","comments":[{"id":15441380,"user":"pjmlp","time":1507640427,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

No you are the one ignoring what I am saying, as apparently you are not doing Android development.

1 - InteliJ Android plugin is not the same as Android Studio, it lags a few versions behind;

2 - The free C and C++ plugins are not the same as the parts from CLion that Google integrated into Android Studio;

3 - Additionally the mixed Java/Kotlin and NDK debugging is also taken from CLion

So if you want to be behind the curve of what Android developers use daily, by all means use pure InteliJ with the plugins you are suggesting.","comments":[{"id":15441554,"user":"kuschku","time":1507642124,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Great, you could’ve checked my profile, or googled who I am, but apparently you didn’t. Spoiler: I do. A lot.

> 1 - InteliJ Android plugin is not the same as Android Studio, it lags a few versions behind;

Which is irrelevant, because Android Studio itself is also splittered into several versions, and many devs simply use the beta, and others use IDEA directly, and yet others simply copied the plugin over.

The plugin in IDEA Ultimate is up-to-date with the latest stable version of Android Studio, btw.

> 2 - The free C and C++ plugins are not the same as the parts from CLion that Google integrated into Android Studio;

No, but they differ insignificantly, I’ve been using both options daily, and both work just the same and fine.

> 3 - Additionally the mixed Java/Kotlin and NDK debugging is also taken from CLion

That’s something I don’t know anything about, as I mostly use a custom solution for that purpose.","comments":[{"id":15441624,"user":"pjmlp","time":1507642642,"time_ago":"8 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

It’s true that there are major differences between 3.0.0-beta6 and IDEA-CE, but 2.3.4 and IDEA-CE are basically the same.

And the open C++ plugin is actually the same that powers CLion (if you have CLion installed, I recommend looking at the plugin list)","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":9,"url":"item?id=15441899"}],"comments_count":1,"level":8,"url":"item?id=15441624"}],"comments_count":2,"level":7,"url":"item?id=15441554"}],"comments_count":3,"level":6,"url":"item?id=15441380"}],"comments_count":4,"level":5,"url":"item?id=15441256"}],"comments_count":5,"level":4,"url":"item?id=15441009"}],"comments_count":6,"level":3,"url":"item?id=15440921"}],"comments_count":7,"level":2,"url":"item?id=15440774"}],"comments_count":8,"level":1,"url":"item?id=15440622"}],"comments_count":9,"level":0,"url":"item?id=15440183"}],"comments_count":10,"url":"item?id=15440139"}
