Welcome our new Company Blog!
Tuesday, August 21st, 2012Dear Friends,
As you know, we’re a company of software products. IntelliJ IDEA was the first one but it is one of 14 that are already known to the wider audience. And more are to come sooner or later.
But a company isn’t just what we develop. It’s also who we are, what we’re passionate about, what inspires us, and what we believe in. We decided to share these essential parts of our world called JetBrains with you — in the JetBrains Company Blog. In fact, it’s been in the works for quite some time and is finally coming to life.
Check in often to get to know us better — the people, the events, the hobbies, the beliefs, the anecdotes, special offers and the pure facts — everything behind the tools that we make for you.
Don’t miss our Interview with John Lindquist, a new member of our technical evangelists team, already published on the blog.
Stay tuned for more news and keep developing with pleasure!

Complete static methods and fields with the new IntelliJ IDEA 12 EAP build 122.29
Thursday, August 9th, 2012Did you know how to quickly complete a static method call or a constant reference without writing the class name first? Just type some prefix and invoke Basic Code Completion (Ctrl+Space) twice (or Ctrl+Alt+Space once):
There are two problems though:
- The entire project is searched and there might be just plain too many completely unrelated suggestions, and it’s hard to search among them what you need.
- You may not remember the name of the member you want while knowing what it type should be.
Now we have a solution for these problems. It’s the plain old second SmartType Completion (Ctrl+Shift+Space). It now also scans the entire project for static methods and fields, but suggests only those whose type is suitable in the context:
This may be very handy with collection libraries like Guava:
You can try this in the new EAP: build 122.29. Of course, it contains other improvements as well: code completion has become faster in Java, Groovy extensions are now recognized in more cases, Extract Style refactoring for Android, etc. Simply download the build or “Check for updates” in the IDE itself.
Git Branches for Multi-root Projects
Thursday, August 2nd, 2012Sometimes there is a need to have multiple Git repositories within a single project. Since long ago IntelliJ IDEA is able to execute many Git operations on all roots at once: Commit, Update Project, Push. Now multi-repository support has come to branches.
In IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 we have implemented two different approaches for multi-root branches. (more…)
