IntelliJ IDEA 8 Milestone 1
Jetbrains announced a milestone release for my favorite IDE a couple of days ago, and the feature list is quite impressing. I have been running the milestone for a couple of days and so far it’s running great. The SEAM support is a winner for me, as the Spring 2.5 support (although it worked fine in 7.0.4 as well)
- JBoss Seam Integration
- Javascript/Flex Debugger
- Spring 2.5
- FreeMarker, Velocity, GWT 1.5
- Great support for REST WebServices
- Struts 2
- Multi-dialect SQL Console
- Reworked project configuration
- New automated refactorings
- Improved coding assistance
- Numerous new code inspections
- Countless other new features and improvements
And planned features for the full version
- Team Foundation Server integration
- New Java refactorings from former Refactor-J
- Improved Groovy support, with Grails 1.0.3 and new refactorings
- Improved Ruby support, with Ruby debugger
- Scala support
- Python support
- Flexible settings storage with IntelliJ IDEA Server
