Yeah I don't see the problem with that at all. Intellij packages plugins. Plugins run.

The only issue here is that it's being automatically enabled after it is disabled, which I assume is just a simple bug and not at all the big deal this is being made out to be.

My understanding is that people expect their projects being sent to Jetbrains or whatever servers for analysis and that's not allowed in many environments. I've heard of some workplaces where it's outright forbidden to update idea to this version until further notice.

From what I'm seeing this plugin will not send any data to Jetbrains if you don't activate the backend features, but please let me know if that's incorrect.

Again, this is really more of a conversation for a support forum and not hn...

edit: I just updated and the plugin definitely does not just start sending data, you have to explicitly click 'start trial'.

Alas, it blocks my upgrade totally.

I'm glad your firm lets you send code anywhere. Mine does not.

I don't think that the plugin being enabled sends data anywhere.
