Maia Goes Public Beta

November 6th, 2009 by Egor Malyshev

It finally happened! IntelliJ IDEA 9 is now publicly available in its official Beta state.

In this release you will find almost everything we have prepared for IntelliJ IDEA 9:

Faster environment with background-enabled indexes
Improved code understanding, including dead code detection and extended folding options
Cleaner and more productive coding thanks to improved completion, intention actions, and more efficient UI
Full Java EE 6 support plus GlassFish 3, EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0, Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0
Language polyglot arsenal extended with PHP, Scala and La Clojure, and improved Groovy
New Web frameworks support: Tapestry, GAE, GWT 1.7 and Spring 3.0 with Spring Security
OSGi Application Development
Enhanced Maven support
Android development facilities,
Better Flex Development, and more.

You can read more about improvements, get the fresh release, try it all for yourself, and submit your feedback via YouTrack, our brand-new issue tracker: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/IDEA

Also, don’t forget that our Free Upgrade Program is still effective and you can buy IntelliJ IDEA 9 even before it’s out!

Develop with Pleasure!

After installing the TeamCity plugin Maia refused to load my project at all (internal ide error), and when I reverted to 8.1.3 (using the backed up project files) I wasn’t able to edit a file - sth got completely wrong with the display.

Of course as it’s a beta such errors are expected, just a warning if anybody wanted to use it for work :).

“Language polyglot” is a tautology.

The zip file is now available.

For TeamCity plugin, you’ll need to install the version from TeamCity 4.5.5 or the latest 5.0 EAP.

Congrats on the beta! It’s nice to see some neat new features.

When can we expect to see simple comment wrapping for the various languages? It’s unbelievable that feature is still missing - basically every other editor including emacs has it, it’s so fundamental to editing code. I wait patiently from version to version and still, no love. Anyone?
