IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.3 update available, 11 is coming

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Just a couple of days before the actual announcement of brand new IntelliJ IDEA 11, we are releasing a bugfix update for the previous version — IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.3.

The update is recommended for everyone on 10.5. It fixes some most critical bugs but also resolves some compatibility issues, e.g. with Android 4.0 SDK, Struts 2.3.1 and Grails 2.0.
And it is a must for those, who updated their Java to 1.6.0_29 on Mac OS X.

Check out the full list of fixes and download the update from IntelliJ IDEA web site.

And you can still get on the “free upgrade” train if you wish. Get IntelliJ IDEA 10 license now (we still have some left) and version 11 is also yours!

Develop with pleasure!

New in 11: Spring 3.1 @Configuration based contexts support

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

Spring 3.1 significantly extends @Configuration based applications with a set of new annotations responsible for processing of Spring models

  • @ComponentScan configures component scanning directives for use with @Configuration classes. Provides support parallel with Spring XML’s <context:component-scan> element
  • @Import indicates one or more @Configuration classes to import. Provides functionality equivalent to the <import/> element in Spring XML.
  • @ImportResource indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import.
  • @PropertySource providing a convenient and declarative mechanism for adding a PropertySource to Spring Environment.
  • @Profile indicates that a component is eligible for registration when one or more specified profiles are active.
