We’ve created a short live demo, showing some of IntelliJ IDEA Flex support features during the process of creating a simple Hello World with Flex from scratch. The demo explains how to create and configure a project, author the code and run your (probably first) Flex application. You can watch the demo online or download a zip archive. If you need more information about IntelliJ IDEA Flex support, see this feature page.
With IntelliJ IDEA you can quickly generate persistence mappings from any database schema. This feature is not so easy to find, so here’s the tip:
In IntelliJ IDEA HQL console can be used with pure JPA facets (as well as with Hibernate facets) to run JPAQL and HQL queries. All you need is Hibernate libraries and JDBC driver in a module classpath. If persistence.xml contains no Hibernate-specific database connection options, it should be mapped to an existing data source via JPA facet settings.
Tip: HQL console can also be used to generate DDL statements for JPA and Hibernate mappings via its Generate DDL command.
Update: If a Persistence Unit or Session Factory is mapped to a valid local Data Source there is no need to specify JDBC driver jars in a module classpath (Since 8.1.1).
WebBeans event producers raise events that are then delivered to event observers. IntelliJ IDEA analyzes producer event binding types and helps to navigate to related observers and vice versa.
This feature will be available to try when Maia EAP goes public.
