IntelliJ® IDEA 7.0

IntelliJ IDEA 7 ties Spring and Hibernate together, enabling even better, efficient and productive development of Java EE applications. Numerous new features for creating and modifying Spring and Hibernate code are also introduced.

Spring Support

Spring AOP support, with full coding assistance:

Smart code completion and highlighting AspectJ-aware code completion with syntax and error highlighting Numerous quick-fixes Enhanced navigation with active gutter icons

p-namespace support for properties definition Generating Hibernate mapping from data source structure Coding assistance, including smart completion Highlighting, inspections and quick-fixes Visual diagram for viewing dependencies Dedicated file set editor

Hibernate Support

Hibernate-Spring integration Editable Hibernate entities relationship diagram Find Usages searches table and column names Coding assistance with smart completion Code inspections and quick-fixes Hibernate mapping structure view Mapping IntelliJ IDEA configured datasources to Hibernate

Project configuration

Facets (sub-module project structure) for GWT, Hibernate, JPA, JSF, Spring and Struts

Web Services Support

Smart code completion, aware of Web Services specifics, in:

XML code Java code XML code with resolution of Java classes Numerous code inspections with quick-fixes, that work across Java and XML code Smart navigation with Project and Structure views, plus active gutter icons Numerous refactorings for upgrading your code Live templates and intention actions One-click deployment of Web Services from Java classes, with generating all required code Remote debugging with supported application servers Automatic code generation:

WSDL or WADL from Java code Java code from WSDL or WADL Java code from XMLBeans XMLBeans from Java code XML documents from XSD schema XSD schema from XML documents

HTML, XHTML, XML Support Improvement

Breadcrumb navigation bar for faster navigation across HTML/XHTML, JSP Code inspections for HTML code cross-browser compatibility

IntelliJ IDEA 7 features Eclipse interoperability, enabling the mixed development team benefit from the use of both IDE. Projects can be imported to or from Eclipse, or synchronized so that the code base is shared between two environments.

Import (creating IntelliJ IDEA .iml and .ipr files from existing Eclipse projects) Export (creating Eclipse project files from existing IDEA .iml files) Synchronization (module dependencies stored directly in Eclipse-compatible .classpath file)

Maven build configurations can also be imported to IntelliJ IDEA projects, plus arbitrary goals can be executed before or after make, run or debug. IntelliJ IDEA also provides coding assistance features for maven pom.xml

Team productivity is boosted with enhanced version control integration, beefed up with notable new Perforce and Rational ClearCase support features. Unified VCS functionality usability is improved with new views and notifications.

Improved VCS Integration

Rational ClearCase integration, with UCM support Perforce offline mode Better Visual SourceSafe integration

Automatic add/remove when creating/deleting a file New file statuses: hijacked (modified without checkout) and obsolete (file modified locally but already removed from the repository) History of changes Improved performance

Enhanced StarTeam integration Shelve Changes (temporarily remove from code and save as patch, then restore later) Per-project mapping of VCS roots to project directories (instead of module-based VCS config) Autodetecting project VCS configuration File status change notifications Committed and incoming changes view Handling Update Project results as change lists Improved issue tracker navigation from checkin comments

Improved Local History

Create/Apply Patch

From the Local History dialog you can now quickly create a patch between:

Current revision and another arbitrary revision Two arbitrary revisions Files affected by selected action

Better Local History performance

Ruby Support

Smart, scope based JRuby-aware Ruby code completion Automatic completion of built-in methods Smart Ruby statements completion Completion and automatic resolution in require and load calls Ruby code syntax and error highlighting, with brace matching and folding Code style support with automatic formatting, indentation and TODO marks On-the-fly Ruby code analysis with quick-fixes JRuby and Ruby-aware intention actions Advanced Ruby code and project navigation Ruby-aware structure view, quick structure popup Go to Ruby class, file, symbol and declaration actions Quick declaration view, context and method parameter info Quick overriding of classes, modules and methods with active navigation gutters Multiple ruby-aware refactorings Ruby code usage search for local variables, method parameters, class fields and constants Dedicated Ruby run configuration and quick script execution JRuby support for running Ruby applications, with cross-resolution of classes between Ruby and Java Unit testing support with quick tests launching for a specified method, class or set of tests Stack trace analysis with one-click Ruby code navigation Ruby code documentation lookup with hyperlinks and navigation More than 50 Ruby and RSpec live templates Shortcuts settings for rake tasks, generators, RSpec, etc Plugin page with plugin version, build and useful links in setting

to the top

Groovy Support

Context-sensitive, type inference-aware code completion for:

Methods, fields, classes and keywords Default methods Swing builder methods and Swing properties

Cross-resolution between Groovy and Java classes, methods and fields Smart code navigation assistance with structure view, class and usage search Syntax and error highlighting   Code formatting, folding and Surround With templates Numerous code inspections and quick-fixes:

Groovy-aware refactorings and imports optimization Advanced compiler and debugger, which understand both Groovy and Java code Dedicated Grails SDK configuration for running and debugging Grails applications Built-in Grails generators for:

Controllers Views Domain classes Jobs Scripts Services Taglibs

Grails Server Pages (GSP) support Groovy coding assistance available in GSP Grails application ER diagram

Reworked Project Wizard and Project Settings now provide better flexibility and transparency in creating configuring your projects. Seamless migration and coexistence with Eclipse and Maven now boosts team productivity. New project configuration storage format improves collaboration and project sharing between team members.

New Project Settings and Project Wizard user interface, plus

IntelliJ IDEA 7 introduces the revolutionary approach to analyzing the dependencies between project classes — the Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM).

DSM was designed to help analyzing the structure of complex projects, with thousands of Java classes. DSM reflects the real dependencies between classes in a project, showing them sorted in a way that lets you get the overall picture at a glance, and then perform a deep drill-down in just few clicks.

You can quickly focus on any part of the project, to find cyclic dependencies, unused classes and so on. DSM is integrated with advanced code navigation so and enables you to jump directly to the code which requires your attention. A rich set of code refactorings is provided for resolving the problems.

General DSM view

Automatic cyclic dependency detection

Multiple cross-class dependencies can be analyzed in one view

Find usages and with navigation integrated for one-click jumping to the underlying code

Navigation and Search

Support for scopes Find in zipped sources Find in library sources Improved search in editor with search item completion

Java ME Support

Miscellaneous Improvements

Hide side button to hide all toolwindows on arbitrary IDE window side Draggable tool window buttons Popup toolbars Multiple usability improvements
