Sometimes while editing pom.xml one needs to define a property and replace the occurrences of some value - artifact version, for example, - with this property. Now you can use the new IDEA Introduce Property refactoring for these purposes.
To invoke refactoring, select the string that should be replaced and press Ctrl-Alt-V (alternatively, you can use Maven/IntroduceProperty action in the editor context menu). In dialog enter the property name and select the pom to create the property in:
Introduce Property dialog
Refactoring finds all the occurrences of the selected string in the poms hierarchy and replaces them.
More refactorings will be added soon.
Any comments are appreciated.
In the latest IDEA 9.0.2 EAP build the new ‘Scripts’ tab is available in JavaScript Debug tool window:
It displays all scripts loaded by Firefox in a tree-like structure and allows to open a script in the editor to set breakpoints in it.
If you want to debug JavaScript code in a JavaEE application you can set the corresponding option in an application server run configuration:

If you’re an IntelliJ user working under Linux you’ve probably seen that boring “Synchronizing files…” spinning icon in a left corner of a status bar. It is there because for an intelligent IDE it is a must to be in the know about any external changes in files it working with - e.g. changes made by VCS, or build tools, or code generators etc. On Windows and Mac OS X native file system watchers used to facilitate this task but on Linux the only option was to recursively scan directory tree. Now you’re welcome to give a try to native file system watcher for Linux.
Prerequisites
File system watcher requires inotify(7) facility. It is in mainstream kernel for more than two years (since 2.6.13, and in glibc since 2.4) so chances are your distribution don’t missing it. The sign of inotify availability in a system is a presence of /proc/sys/fs/inotify/ directory.
Download and setup
File system watcher is a single binary executable (fsnotifier) and can be downloaded directly from our Git repository. It should be named ‘fsnotifier’, placed into bin/ directory of your IDE and granted execution rights. Inotify requires a “watch handle” to be set for each directory it monitors. Unfortunately, the default limit of watch handles may not be enough for reasonably sized projects (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA sources contain 30000+ directories). The current limit can be verified by executing:
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
It can be raised by adding following line to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
… and issuing this command to apply the change:
sudo sysctl -p
64-bit systems
If your system is strictly 64-bit (i.e. doesn’t contains 32-bit runtime libraries in /lib32 directory) you should download 64-bit version here. Rename downloaded file to “fsnotifier”, rest of setup is same.
