How can I use Spring Initializr support in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2020? IntelliJ documentation recommend me:

Create a Spring Boot project
From the main menu, select File | New | Project.

In the left pane of the New Project wizard, select Spring Initializr.

But I have no such point in Project Wizard. Other topics here recommend to enable or install plugin. But I have no such plugin in installed and also have no such plugin in marketplace. I found only SpringBootGen plugin but it not help me, still no any new point in Project Wizard panel and no any information how to use it. Please help!

There is a plug-in called: "Spring Intilializr and Assistent" - go to Settings or Preferences (depending on OS) - there PlugIns -> Marketplace, search for it and install.

So no need for the Ultimate version … It basically uses the website start.spring.io (or you can use a custom one, don't know how this works exactly) to get the files, but more convenient.
