Programmers interested in a solution to run IDEs and Swing apps remotely over the network
About JetBrains Projector
Run JetBrains IDEs and Swing apps remotely over the network. Swing is a graphical widget toolkit for Java. Current JetBrains IDEs use Swing to draw the UI. The same is true for other IntelliJ-based apps, like Android Studio. Projector is a self-hosted technology that runs IntelliJ-based IDEs and Swing-based apps on the server, allowing you access to them from anywhere using browsers and native apps. IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition running in Safari web browser on macOS. Run code near the runtime or database to reduce roundtrips. High-security zones and corporate environments. Thin clients and cheap hardware like Android tablets. Turn off your computer, while your app continues to work on the server. Run the IDE in a GNU/Linux environment on Windows machines or even on exotic operating systems like ChromeOS. VM or Docker images with debug sources and a pre-configured IDE. Remote debugging on server-side (devtest, devprod).

JetBrains Fleet
Built from scratch, based on 20 years of experience developing IDEs. JetBrains Fleet uses the IntelliJ code-processing engine, with a distributed IDE architecture and a reimagined UI. We built Fleet to be a fast and lightweight text editor for when you need to quickly browse and edit your code. It starts up in an instant so you can begin working immediately, and it can easily transform into an IDE, with the IntelliJ code-processing engine running separately from the editor itself. Fleet inherits the things that developers love the most from IntelliJ-based IDEs – project and context aware code completion, navigation to definitions and usages, on-the-fly code quality checks, and quick-fixes. Fleet’s architecture is designed to support a range of configurations and workflows. You can simply run Fleet just on your machine, or move some of the processes elsewhere – for example by locating the code processing in the cloud.
