Add support for Processing 4 to IntelliJ IDEA
Answered
On 9 August 2021 there was a release of Processing 4.0 beta 1:
https://github.com/processing/processing4/blob/master/build/shared/changes.md
" We're using Java 11, which should be faster, more up to date, and a lot more compatible with newer machines."
Until September 2021 Java 11 was the last LTS release. Now it is Java 17.
Please test if Processing 4.0 beta 1 works out of the box with latest IntelliJ IDEA.
Please consider whether changes to Processing 4.0 repository or IDEA are necessary to make usage of Processing 4 easy with IDEA.

There is no support for Processing language development assistance in IntelliJ IDEA. There is a corresponding feature request: IDEABKL-7391 We use Processing for generative art. It would be great to have support Processing.
