Keeping Pace with the Newer Java Versions
summary
JetBrains shows IntelliJ IDEA keeps pace with Java’s six‑month cadence by shipping IDE updates every four months and letting users download JDK from IDE and set language level or enable preview flags. Live demos use alt+Enter context actions to seal classes, apply pattern‑matching for instanceof, merge nested ifs and replace loops with collection.remove. Records replace bulky data classes and are shown truly immutable—records are immutable to reflection—and the demos compile and run.
