foreword
I installed idea2023.1.3 in the past two weeks (I have been using idea2020.3 version before), and I found that the interface of the new version is indeed better-looking, and the startup speed is also very fast, and opening multiple projects is also very fast, all in seconds . But, its memory usage is much higher than that of idea2020.3. When it was first opened, it was more than 2.5G, and then it started to use 3G or even 4G after a while (afraid of .jpg, so use The new version of idea should be considered, the memory usage is really high), this is the memory usage after I disabled many plug-ins. As for the 2020.3 version, after I disabled many plug-ins, there was only more than 1 G, and sometimes 2 G, which is much less memory usage than the latest version. I planned to use the 2020 version at the beginning, but after using it for a few days, I felt that it was okay, so I continued to use it, and I did not delete the old version.
So, this article will record which built-in plug-ins the new version of idea has, and whether these plug-ins can be disabled.
PS: The 2020.3 version of the plug-in is disabled. I refer to this article: Disable non-essential plug-ins

9. jvm framework
This one is basically related to Java, so I have not disabled it except for a few. Because there are too many, I only list the disabled ones.
Also, those plug-ins that start with spring provide corresponding navigation, auto-completion, and inspection. The corresponding module functions are not used and can be disabled. For example, I didn't use spring cloud or spring security to disable the plugin.

说一下Hibernate这个插件，这个插件必须要勾上，不勾上会导致mybatis里的xml文件的SQL语句关键词没有高亮显示。我一开始就是把它给禁用了，然后SQL关键词没有高亮，我怎么都找不到原因，后面还是偶然间给勾上了才发现的。它勾上了，那么上面说到的Database Tools and SQL插件也会自动勾上。

at last
The descriptions of the above plug-ins are almost all translated from English, and most of us can know whether we have used this plug-in or whether it can be disabled by looking at the translation or the plug-in name. Well, so I have disabled the ones that I can disable according to my intuition. It has been used for a week or two and there is no problem. You can refer to it. If you have any supplements, you can communicate in the comment area.
(Finally, these plug-in names are all typed out by me, because I can’t copy them, I hope everyone will like them a lot, 3Q~)
