  • 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
