Programmers interested in a solution to run IDEs and Swing apps remotely over the network
About JetBrains Projector
Run JetBrains IDEs and Swing apps remotely over the network. Swing is a graphical widget toolkit for Java. Current JetBrains IDEs use Swing to draw the UI. The same is true for other IntelliJ-based apps, like Android Studio. Projector is a self-hosted technology that runs IntelliJ-based IDEs and Swing-based apps on the server, allowing you access to them from anywhere using browsers and native apps. IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition running in Safari web browser on macOS. Run code near the runtime or database to reduce roundtrips. High-security zones and corporate environments. Thin clients and cheap hardware like Android tablets. Turn off your computer, while your app continues to work on the server. Run the IDE in a GNU/Linux environment on Windows machines or even on exotic operating systems like ChromeOS. VM or Docker images with debug sources and a pre-configured IDE. Remote debugging on server-side (devtest, devprod).

IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ IDEA is the JetBrains IDE for professional Java and Kotlin development, where you can run your agents and verify their work.
The IDE’s code intelligence resolves types, usages, and dependencies across your codebase. This allows you to make safe changes and helps agents use fewer tokens and take fewer wrong turns. Built-in tools for debugging, testing, and profiling help you verify those changes before you ship.
These capabilities come ready for your JVM stack, with support for the latest Java and Kotlin features, as well as frameworks and platforms like Spring, Jakarta EE, Micronaut, and Quarkus, plus the build tools and app servers your projects rely on.
Choose your agents and models, and run multiple agents in parallel all in one place, without being tied to a single provider. Use your own API key, an existing subscription, or JetBrains AI, and switch as your needs change.
You decide how to work and what ultimately ships.

JetBrains Junie
Junie is JetBrains' AI coding agent, built to be cost-efficient. It plans with a powerful model and implements with a faster one, so you spend fewer tokens per task while getting the same quality. On the independent SWE-Rebench benchmark, Junie resolves more real-world coding issues than other leading agents, at a lower cost per task. Junie supports the latest models from major frontier labs on day zero, so you're never waiting on integration work to use what just shipped. It works with almost any model you choose, inside IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, directly from the terminal, or from GitHub and GitLab issues and merge requests. A human stays in the loop. Junie asks for approval before risky actions, and you can redirect it mid-task instead of starting over. Teach Junie your team's coding standards, naming conventions, and review process, and switch from another AI coding agent in seconds with no extra setup.
