Practical notes on running AWS tooling inside JetBrains IDEs.

• IntelliJ says the AWS plugin is incompatible — why, and what to doWhy AWS plugins get disabled after an IntelliJ update, how to tell whether it is the plugin or the IDE, and the options that actually work.
• “Could not find AWS CLI” in the AWS Toolkit — what it meansThe AWS Toolkit asks for a local AWS CLI for some features. What needs it, what does not, and how to point the IDE at an existing install.
• AWS Toolkit says you are not logged in — how credentials are resolvedWhere JetBrains AWS plugins look for credentials, why an expired SSO session looks like a login bug, and how to check what the IDE actually sees.
• “JCEF is not supported” in the AWS Toolkit — what it isWhy some IDE plugin screens need an embedded browser, when JCEF is unavailable, and what still works without it.
• Browsing S3 from IntelliJ IDEAWhat to expect from an S3 browser inside the IDE, which permissions are needed, and how to work against LocalStack.
• CloudFormation in IntelliJ: template editing vs. watching a deployTwo different jobs get called “CloudFormation plugin”. Which one you need depends on whether you are writing a template or waiting on a stack.
• Using LocalStack from a JetBrains IDEHow endpoint overrides work, which credentials LocalStack expects, and what to check when the IDE connects to AWS instead of your local stack.
