This page lists commonly used API annotated with org.jetbrains.annotations.ApiStatus.Internal which indicates it's private API and must not be used outside of IntelliJ Platform itself:
ApiStatus.Internal Javadoc:
Indicates that the annotated element (class, method, field, etc.) must not be considered as a public API. It's made visible to allow usages in other packages of the declaring library, but it must not be used outside of that library. Such elements may be renamed, changed or removed in future versions.
Such violations are reported from Plugin Verifier and are highlighted in the IDE using dedicated inspection.
Each entry is mapped to its corresponding Replacement, pointing to recommended API.
