JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

When working with big projects we always come back to 10-20 items/files where we do the most of our work.

IntelliJ IDEA helps you collecting all these items in one place — ‘Favorites’. It’s easy to add a file, a class or a method to the Favorites by simply pressing Alt+Shift+F. You can also drag and drop items to the Favorites.

And now with ‘Favorites’ being a separate tool-window, just press Alt+2 (or Cmd+2) whenever you need to access one of your precious items again.

Do you know how to navigate from a class to its test and back again or how to create a FlexUnit test quickly with IntelliJ IDEA 11? Let me tell you.

First of all make sure that flexunit.swc is within your module dependencies:

and just press Ctrl+Shift+T (Cmd+Shift+T on Mac) or select Navigate | Test from main menu:

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.

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.

I’d like to highlight few useful features in ActionScript/Flex debugger, some of which are new in IntelliJ IDEA 11.

Better members presentation in Variables view (informative icons, sorting) with ability to jump to source:

Convenient collections view (size, Vector status, collection elements):

Mark any object instance and this instance will be highlighted in all views if met again until the end of the debug session:

[SWF] and [UnloadSWF] messages are now filtered out by default. Toggle respective button in Debug tool window to switch the filter off:

Debug with pleasure!

We’ve received a number of questions related to the support for Subversion 1.7 in IntelliJ IDEA 11 and related IDEs. With this post, we’d like to provide an update regarding the current status of the support and our future plans.

As you may know, IntelliJ IDEA relies on the SVNKit library for its Subversion support. Subversion 1.7 is a huge release in terms of the internal changes, and although the SVNKit team started work on it a long time ago, this work is unfortunately not yet finished.

We’ve been working closely with the SVNKit team and providing them feedback regarding the open issues that need to be resolved before we can fully rely on the new SVNKit in our integration. We’ve also included an experimental SVN 1.7 plugin in one of the beta releases of IntelliJ IDEA 11. However, due to major performance problems discovered during our testing, we’ve had to remove the plugin from the final release. Therefore, IntelliJ IDEA 11 and other IDEs based on the same version of the platform (PhpStorm/WebStorm 3.0, PyCharm 2.0) do not support Subversion 1.7.

However, we’re confident that the remaining open issues are going to be resolved in the coming months, and we plan to include full Subversion 1.7 support in the forthcoming IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 update, planned for release in late Q1/early Q2 2012. The Early Access Preview testing for IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 will begin early next year. Updates for PyCharm and PhpStorm/WebStorm will also be released around that time.

If you can’t wait for the IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 EAP to begin, you can build the plugin from source today. In our GitHub repo, the svn4idea plugin is the new plugin updated for SVN 1.7 compatibility and bundling the new SVNKit, and svn4ideaOld is the plugin currently shipped with IntelliJ IDEA 11.

Note that if your main reason for upgrading to SVN 1.7 is better update performance, you can achieve this with the exising IntelliJ IDEA integration and older SVN versions. In order to do that, please enable the “Update administrative information only in changed subtrees” option under Settings | Version Control | Subversion.

Also note that we do not currently plan to release SVN 1.7 compatible updates for IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 or older releases.

There are many little things in database and SQL area that got attention in yesterday’s IntelliJ IDEA 11 release but now I just want to highlight the major ones.

Data Sources view got a new look and now includes stored procedures both from DDL scripts and real databases. The existing SQL dialects support has been redesigned with two new dialects introduced: H2 and MS Transact-SQL. So the list of supported SQL languages now looks like this:

MySQL 5.6 PostgreSQL 9.0.5 Oracle 11.2 SQLite 3.7 SQL Server 10.50 Derby 10.8 HSQLDB 2.2 H2 1.3 SQL-92    Featuring: Exact syntax as in docs Context-aware completion PL-extensions support

Database view:

• Includes stored procedures. Search for usages, navigate to, drag and drop to editor, etc.
• Working with large databases is now less painful. Tables and procedures are available the moment their names are loaded. Columns, procedure parameters and other information are loaded in background afterwards.
• If something is changed there’s no need to wait for the whole synchronization. Refresh only selected schemas, tables or procedures.

Database Console:

• Console now remembers its state so you won’t lose statements you have never run.
• If you do not want to switch editors back and forth you can run statements directly from an SQL file or any other place where SQL injection takes place: invoke “Run Query in Console” intention for the first time then use console “Execute” action shortcut as if you are in console.
• Transact-SQL batch execution mode (the toggle is hidden in the console properties dialog)
• Console editor now can be undocked and split as any other editor.

Enjoy.
