How We Support New Technologies, Languages, and Frameworks in IntelliJ IDEA

" summary

Explains how to add real IDE features using the IntelliJ Platform: use the Plugin Dev Kit or the Intellij Platform Plugin Template with Gradle, register extension points like implicit usage provider to stop false “unused” markings, add a local inspection to flag @Autowired-on-field, and implement a psi reference contributor to get completion, navigation and rename for application.properties keys (autocomplete and rename/find-usages work out of the box). For new languages generate lexer/parser and PSI with Grammar-Kit and JFlex and inject the language into string literals; jsonpath support is implemented and running.
