| To get started developing with Java, you need to install the Java Developer Kit (JDK) and the IntelliJ integrated development environment (IDE). The easiest way to do this is to follow the instructions for installing the IntelliJ IDE and then using IntelliJ to install the version of the JDK that you want to use. | ||

| [IntelliJ Installation Instructions](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/installation-guide.html) - Make sure you choose the free Community Edition. Do this by selecting the `Standalone installation`, picking your operating system, clicking on the download link, and then scrolling down to the `Community Edition` option. You can install the `Ultimate Edition`, but you will have to provide your BYU credentials in order to enable free usage. | ||

The Community Edition was merged with IntelliJ IDEA, so download IntelliJ IDEA, and you will be able to code with some advanced features until the 30 day free trial ends. If you want to keep the advanced features, you can provide your BYU credentials to get them for free, though they are not required for this class. |

If the community edition no longer exists is there any reason to mention it?

I agree, I think we could reword this to mention that you don't have to subscribe for the advanced features if you don't want to, but that they are free with the byu account. I don't think we need to mention Community Edition now that they've merged.
| All AI coding tools need to be turned off for this project. We want you to understand the code you write, and having AI author the code for you can be a hinderance to your learning. If you have some sort of AI coding assistant (like Copilot) that comes by default with your IDE, you need to turn that **off**. Using AI to write your code may flag our plagiarism detection system. If you are unsure about your use of AI, check the syllabus in Canvas, or ask one of the instructors. | ||

| Specifically, if you are using the IntelliJ Ultimate Edition, it comes by default with a local deep learning model, and possibly a cloud LLM that will help finish lines. (This feature does not come with the Community edition). To turn off Full Line code completion, follow these steps: | ||

Why "possibly"? If it does mention it, otherwise don't.

You could say something along the lines of If you subscribed for the advanced features of intellij, you need to turn off the LLM
Can we also confirm that this information is correct? Is it still only a part of the advanced features? If they get a 30 day free trial of the advanced features, should we be requiring them all to turn it off?

Had a student come to the help queue to ask me where to download the Community Edition. Since it was merged with IntelliJ IDEA, I thought I would change the instructions that state to download IntelliJ Community Edition. Wanted some feedback on if the changes are clear enough.
