I’m sad to say JetBrains has updated their terms for free open source licenses and, as a result, has denied OpenMRS for free open source licensing, citing we are backed by a non-profit (OpenMRS, Inc.) and we received financial support (referencing our support page). I know there will be many open source devs just trying to save lives writing code who will be disappointed by this news.
Cost of individual subscriptions: Individual subscriptions of JetBrains IDEA Ultimate are $150 USD for the first year, $120 USD for the second year, and then $90 USD/year thereafter (see JetBrains website for up-to-date pricing).
Alternatives: Folks who cannot afford JetBrains subscriptions will need to make due with the community edition or one of the alternative free Java IDE options.
Sad to hear, however Jetbrains provides a perpetual license for any product that you have currently, has that also been revoked by the new license terms?
@wyclif actually Visual Studio Code, https://code.visualstudio.com/, would be a good alternative, with Java Support over Eclipse I tend to use it when I am on the road and need to conserve battery as I work
For any student/faculty devs out there who may need a license, do check this out, Jetbrains provides free licenses for all current students and faculty. It’s as easy as signing up with you university email id.
I know it’s nowhere as cool as IntelliJ, but I always used Eclipse (I know, the dinosaur IDE, heavy) and you know what? It’s ‘ok’. It’s heavy as h*ll but does everything you might think of.
But I admit that it’s not my most cutting edge side
