a.k.a. the reason of why I use IntelliJ, everything built in.

Their remote development is still lacking compared to VS Code however I've found.

What kind of work do you do? I use have about a dozen plugins, and I hate installing them, so that's only things that are absolutely necessary (like prettier).

Is there a way to script IntelliJ? I find myself in a job with 30ish coupled microservices, because they are coupled flipping between them is not unusual... But trying to set up a project that has all of them as parallel sub-projects, (a) gives me no way to impose a folder hierarchy and (b) it seems like I have to set up Cloud Code and each individual subproject separately. So I am using VS Code for java dev despite its shortcomings (in particular in the same setup it does not work well with a monorepo hosting those other repos as git submodules, so you want to just load up a plain folder with the microservices in subfolders, but then the Java plugins do not recognize that you have loaded a Java project...) and like it's ok but I did prefer the testing of IntelliJ and some other features... But is there anyway to take these things that take 5 minutes or less to configure on a single microservice/subproject, and apply them to everything with 10 minutes of effort, rather than hours of doing it by hand?

  Well, database result exporters (into CSV/TSV/whatever) and JPA entity generators are built as IDE scripts, so there is at least some level of support. I could never find any decent documentation though. Look into Alt+1 → Scratches and consoles → Extensions And here's a random "blog post" with some additional examples: https://gist.github.com/gregsh/b7ef2e4ebbc4c4c11ee9 https://gist.github.com/gregsh/b7ef2e4ebbc4c4c11ee9

That's not true though. IntelliJ has its own plugin system for this reason.
