Explore IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1 EAP: Java 24 Support, Faster Spring Bean Creation, and New Gradle Daemon Features
The article introduces IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1 EAP's early‑access highlights, including preliminary Java 24 support, streamlined Spring Bean generation, enhanced Gradle Daemon toolchain integration, customizable debugger toolbar, and richer inline hint pop‑ups, while also pointing to related Spring Boot and cloud project resources.
IntelliJ IDEA 2025.1 EAP has just been released, offering developers early access to a range of exciting new features.
Preliminary support for Java 24
The EAP version partially supports the upcoming Java 24, allowing developers to set the SDK to Oracle OpenJDK 24 and adjust the language level in Project Structure | Project Settings | Project.
Faster Spring Bean creation
Creating Spring Beans is now much quicker; developers can use the New… or Generate… menus to create beans automatically without manually writing empty classes and annotations.
Support for Gradle Daemon toolchain
Since Gradle 8.13, the IDE can specify a JVM for the Gradle Daemon via the native Gradle toolchain. Settings under Preferences/Settings | Build Tools | Gradle stay synchronized with Gradle’s configuration, helping avoid Daemon JVM errors.
Customizable debugger toolbar
The debugger toolbar can now be customized: right‑click the kebab menu next to the top pane and choose Add to Debugger Toolbar to add or remove actions that suit your workflow.
Inline hint text pop‑up
When inspecting values that contain marked‑up text (e.g., XML input), the IDE now shows them in a properly formatted pop‑up instead of a plain long string, extending the feature previously limited to Watches.
