I have the latest Macbook pro with Retina display and a beefy nvidia card.After installing Yosemite I tried to launch Intellij and the operating system asked me to download Apple JDK 1.6.So I did. Installed it and relaunched Intellij.But really soon it is apparent that the performance is atrocious.
Intellij For Java In Pro With RetinaI even tried to change the JDK version in Info.plist to 1.7. It works, but antialiasing disappears and the fonts look terrible. So pick your poison after upgrading to Yosemite - horrible graphics performance or horrible font rendering Besides that, Chrome now feels noticably slower when opening tabs, switching tabs, etc. Be advised that after installing Yosemite your drive gets re-indexed by Spotlight. When I disable the external monitors there is not noticable improvement in Intellijs responsiveness, but the overall UI of the operating systen feel a bit better. So it seems theres definitely something wrong, though it is difficult to say if thats OS, JDK or IntelliJ issue. ![]() Oracle is aware of the issues but doesnt seem to actually care. Ive had conversations with them and even Java 9 doesnt have a timeline for fixing the defects. Oracles efforts seem to be focused on JavaFX and not SwingAWT. If you want the best results, you need to run IntelliJ with Java 6 on OSX. ![]()
