![]() IDEA 11 updates support for the Spring ecosystem, adding new Annotations from Spring 3.1, Spring Integration and Spring Data. We were disappointed that we couldn't automatically create Play projects, which instead has to be done manually using In the commercial version, support for the Play Framework is mostly good, and includes an integrated command line interface (via Tools->Play with Play framework) which is very useful and fits well with the standard Play approach. The UI has also been refreshed and looks more consistent across tools and languages. Updates to the Diff component with support for diffing on JAR-files, which enables developers without access to the source code to see minor changes between releases easily.Significant updates to the Scala plugin, with better ScalaTest and ScalaDOC support as highlights.updates to Android development support, which now covers the Android 4 SDK (Ice Cream Sandwich), and adds a UI preview pane. ![]() Other notable new features from the release notes include: IDEA 11 also has now support for using Gradle, but we found some problems with it, and struggled to get it to work with some of our existing Gradle projects. During our tests we encountered what appear to be some serious bugs with the hg plugin failing to track changes, claiming no files having changed during an editing session. Support for Mercurical also seems to be lagging, and is still sub par compared to what Git gets. Subversion users however will have to wait for 11.1 to receive support for SVN 1.7, according to a developer post on the IDEA blog, which we felt was a bit disappointing. It helps finding related commits from the version log and even allows creating gists out of the IDE. With regards to version control IDEA 11 features some goodies for Git and GitHub users. ![]() There are some limitations - for example the Groovy 2.0 annotation only shows up after compilation in the console output, not directly in the source as editor warning - but the addition is welcome. Groovy developers gain IDE support for the still beta 2.0 versions. Code completion even in large projects works well. InfoQ took a detailed look at what is new.ĭuring our tests we felt the overall performance was noticeably better than in previous releases. JetBrains released IDEA 11 before Christmas, bringing improvements to performance, Groovy and Grails support, and to Version Control plugins.
