No doubt you’ve heard about Java EE 7 Launch this Wednesday, Jun 12th. Do you plan to attend the Java EE 7 launch webinar to learn the latest improvements in the platform? If you do Java EE then it probably makes sense.

We, in out turn, would like to give you a sneak peak of the Java EE 7 support coming in IntelliJ IDEA 13 later this year. We’ve been watching the JSR progress and working on it for some time.

Below is a number of short videos demoing our forthcoming support for different JSF 2.2 (JSR-344) features. Check them out and let us know what you think. We’ll be posting more Java EE 7 support details in the coming months.

Note that everything you see, and even more, is already available in IntelliJ IDEA 13 EAP, so you can do more than just watch.

1. Pass Through Attributes

2. Support for new namespaces (0:43)

3. Flows

• Annotated flows, reading your code… (2:13)
• Flow usages search and rename refactoring (0:48)
• @FlowScoped: resolve to explicit/implicit/annotated definitions, code completion (1:26)
• Expression language for annotated flows (0:57)
• Implicit Flows. Code completion and navigation (1:00)
• Flows. Completion for implicitly defined nodes (1:20)
• Implicit and Explicit Flows. Code completion (1:16)
• Editing explicit flows: highlighting, usages search, refactorings; vdl-documents resolve (1:28)
• Explicit Flows. Navigation and usages search (0:49).

Stay tuned for more details in future posts.
And we look forward to your feedback on these videos and features.

Develop with pleasure!

As you remember last week, on November 29 we organized a webinar «Live Coding a Plugin From Scratch» with Dmitry Jemerov, the CTO of JetBrains. In this webinar Dmitry was building an IntelliJ IDEA plugin and discussing the ins and outs of the plugin development.

You can grab the demo code from the GitHub repository.

Please enjoy the recording!

Have you ever thought about using some custom DSLs for your tasks? Great news! With the new MPS 2.5 feature you can use DSLs created in MPS in your projects within IntelliJ IDEA with amazing special code editors and all the stuff. Once you create your language in MPS, to enable them in IntelliJ IDEA you just need to install core MPS plugins and plugins with your languages, add MPS facet to your project and select the languages.

From this short post you’ll find out (and see) how to:

If you use AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext then simply add your configurations or packages-to-scan to “contextConfiguration” context-param of your web.xml and these files will be autodetected by IntelliJ IDEA.

or add your @Configuration classes to a new annotation-based fileset if your application uses AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.

So, what do you think?

Spring Integration extends Spring to support the well-known Enterprise Integration Patterns via lightweight messaging within Spring-based applications and supports integration with external systems via declarative adapters.

Just wanted to let you know that in IntelliJ IDEA 11 we’ve added support for all 21 integration schemes with code analysis, completion, usages search and basic refactorings.

Latest Spring 3.1 features can be easily found in IntelliJ IDEA 11 release.

If you’ve already started testing your applications with @Configuration classes and environment profiles, tell us how it works for you in IntelliJ IDEA.

We’ve slightly redesigned Navigation Bar and added some new sweet features. Watch this short demo for the details and a general overview of NavBar abilities.
