IntelliJ Community

Yes, both IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and PyCharm Community Edition IDEs (Community IDEs) can be used for developing proprietary and commercial software . The only exceptions are related to creating derivative products or commercializing the Community IDEs.

Community Edition is free and open-source , licensed under Apache 2.0. It provides all the basic features for JVM and Android development. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate is commercial, distributed with a 30-day trial period. It provides additional tools and features for web and enterprise development.

Originally Answered: Which is the better general purpose Java IDE, IntelliJ IDEA community edition or Eclipse? IMHO – the community edition of IntelliJ is better . It’s the same IDE, just some of the more advanced features, such as Spring support are not enabled.4 Mar 2015

The free IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, built on open source code, is for pure JVM development.

Yeah, I really like it . It’s got a lot better Maven support, that’s for sure. It’s got a completely different feel than Eclipse that you’ll have to get used to, but eventually it’ll feel even better than Eclipse ever did. And it runs smooth as silk.4 Tem 2013
