Disable Auto Save Code in Intellij IDE

-
Intellij has been really the best and my favorite Java IDE so far, I know it is a paid IDE, it is not free, well they have a free version, but has limited capability and features. The thing that makes this IDE so great is that its code completion and bunch of plugins that can be really helpful to develop our Java program.

To do disable auto-save code in Intellij, here's the simple steps:

1. Hit the File menu and choose Settings


2. On the left pane, Appearance & Behavior, choose System Settings
3. On the pane of System Settings
- Unchecked the Save file automatically if application is idle
- Unchecked the Save file on frame deactivation

Now whenever your file is modified, it won't be automatically saved, we need to mark which files is not saved.

4. Still on Settings, on the left pane, choose Editor > General > Editor tabs


5. Check the Mark modified (*)
6. And also increased the Tab limit from default 10 to 50, or whatever based on your need

Now Click Apply and OK, no need to restart the IDE.

And now whenever you modify any file it won't be automatically saved, so makes your to hit CTRL+S to save your codes changes. All the codes that aren't saved yet, will be marked with asterisk symbol (*).

Intellij IDE by default is auto saving the code or class as we finish typing, i think it is the right behavior for a typical Java program and most compiled programming language, because the codes is meaningless texts before it get compiled by pressing a Build button. But sometimes we need to work in auto-reload environment where it is not efficient to have auto saving enabled, so we need to disable the auto save functionality in the IDE.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1.

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
