IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 EAP Is Open | The IntelliJ IDEA Blog

The Early Access Program (EAP) for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 has commenced, offering developers the opportunity to explore new features and provide feedback before the official release. This iteration aims to strike a balance between AI-assisted and traditional development workflows, introducing enhancements such as a skill repository for AI agents, AI-powered method generation, and improved debugging capabilities like logpoints. The IDE's terminal now better supports CLI interactions, and dependency completion in build scripts has been refined to improve relevance and efficiency. Additionally, users can execute Flyway and Liquibase migrations directly from the IDE, while new debugging tools like the Hibernate Debugger offer insights into SQL queries. Enhanced support for technologies such as Java 27, Kotlin 2.4.x, and Gradle 10 is also underway, alongside ongoing efforts to improve product performance and resource efficiency. Participants are encouraged to share feedback through various platforms to help shape the final product.
