JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

We are glad to announce the first release of JBoss jBPM plugin with:

Visual designer for jpdl files with DnD, usages search, rename and inplace editing

Completion, navigation, refactorings and highlighting inside jpdl xml editor

Links to processes from class files

Since the latest IntelliJ IDEA  9.0.2 EAP the IDE contains a bit of new Maven-related pom.xml editor features.

1. Easier Navigation

• You can navigate to “Dependency usages” from “dependencyManagement” of your parent pom.xml:
  and back:
  
• You can navigate through projects tree

2. Smarter Paths
‘Path reference’ notion were added to the editor to enhance the code completion, usages search and rename refactoring of project paths.

3. More intelligent plugins configuration
IntelliJ IDEA analyses plugin parameter types and adds smart value editors for plugin configuration tags.

You feedback is as always highly appreciated.

Try the last EAP of IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2 to test new ‘Generate’ actions for Maven pom.xml editor.  Type “Alt+Insert” to invoke the “Generate…” popup menu and select an action to run.

IntelliJ IDEA actually runs live template inside to complete the code generation

Let us know what you think about.

With IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2 you can enjoy editing web.xml with the new initial parameters support. IntelliJ IDEA now collects parameter names and is also aware of parameter values types. This allows the IDE to generate (with Alt-Insert), complete, highlight and validate them appropriately.

Grab the latest EAP of IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.2 to try it today.

If you are a plugin writer, you can provide your specific context parameters through the special com.intellij.javaee.model.xml.converters.ContextParamsProvider extention point.
