Use of Junie requires special attention to the following limitations and risks:
- data privacy
- Junie sends code snippets to the JetBrains servers for processing (although privacy is officially promised)
- Not recommended for projects containing sensitive information (e.g., keys, user data)
- Platform Restrictions
- Currently supports macOS/Linux only (not available for Windows users)
- Must use paid version of Pro IDE (not supported by Community Edition)
- utilization risk
- Generated code still requires manual review (especially critical business logic)
- Brave Mode, which is turned on by default, may run the risk of accidentally overwriting files
- Functional boundaries
- Inability to handle highly customized requirements that require domain expertise
- Limited current language support (e.g., no support for emerging languages like Go/Rust)
Best Practice Recommendations::
- Clarify the scope of Junie use and approval process within the company
- Perform necessary security scans and manual reviews of generated code
- Strictly constrained generation rules using .junie/guidelines.md file
- Use a version control system to back up code before critical operations
