Illuminated Cloud Announcements

2.3.8.9 Issue 2843  - Improved  Agentforce Vibes -like functionality: The  Cline  JetBrains plugin is only available for free through the end of 2025 after which it will require a  Teams subscription . As a result, I have also provided installation/configuration assistance for the  Kilo Code  JetBrains plugin.  Kilo Code  is also based on Cline (as well as  Roo Code ) and provides a  very  similar (almost identical in most respects) UX to Cline. It supports the exact same MCP server configuration and rules format as Cline, and it is 100% free to use for JetBrains users against the same free models, e.g.,  x-ai/grok-code-fast-1 . To avoid the same potential issue, I have actually confirmed this explicitly with the folks at Kilo Code: JetBrains plugin  - The Kilo Code extension/plugin is free to install and use no mandatory subscription required. Free & budget models available  - Kilo Gateway currently includes...

2.3.8.8 Issue 2843  - Integrated  Agentforce Vibes -like functionality using  Cline , bundled Salesforce-specific rules including those from  Salesforce  , and the  Salesforce DX MCP Server . A  demonstration video  is available to help explain installation, configuration, and usage. Note that it's also possible to achieve similar functionality with other agentic AI tool plugins for JetBrains IDEs as documented in the linked issue. Please be aware of a few quirks and considerations that I've observed with Cline: If you use a Windows/ARM64 machine, the Cline plugin in the JetBrains plugin repository is currently  incompatible . I have created a patched build that works properly on that OS/architecture. IC can help download and install that build until the linked issue is resolved and a compatible version is available via the plugin repository. If the Salesforce DX MCP Server is timing out, try running it once directly from the command-line fir...

2.3.8.7 Issue 2890  - Fixed issues with Illuminated Cloud in free 2025.3+ IDEs. As of 2025.3, JetBrains has removed IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm Community Edition IDEs and replaced them with  unlicensed commercial editions  of those same IDEs. IC was enabling Community Edition-specific functionality in a very specific manner that does not work in these unlicensed commercial IDEs. That should be resolved with these fixes. The one notable downside is that some free IDE-specific functionality may be visible in licensed commercial IDEs even if it's completely inactive. Those features are generally labeled with "(free IDEs)" and can be safely ignored in licensed commercial IDEs. If you still see any remaining regressions or issues in free 2025.3+ IDEs relative to the previous Community Edition IDEs, please report them in the  public issue tracker  and I'll address them ASAP. Fixed an issue with the  PMD Salesforce  inspection against more recent PMD distributi...
