   Testing a Fresh Look for JetBrains IDEs

   JetBrains introduces two new UI styles called One Island and Many Islands in their 2025.2 EAP release, available in both dark and light modes. The visual update aims to modernize the interface, improve clarity between editor and tool windows, and align with JetBrains' broader design language across products like Toolbox and Fleet. Users can test both styles and provide feedback through surveys to help determine which becomes the new default theme.

   JetBrains introduces Spring Debugger, a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that simplifies debugging Spring Boot applications by making framework internals visible. The plugin provides visual insights into bean management, property resolution, transaction states, database connections, and enables interactive evaluation of Spring components during debugging sessions. It works without requiring additional runtime agents and uses non-suspending breakpoints to gather application data locally.
