How to Run a Single Inspection in IDEA X?

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

To run a single inspection in previous versions of IntelliJ IDEA you had to create a dedicated inspection profile for that or use “Run inspection on…” from inspection’s quick fix list. In IntelliJ IDEA X you can find and run inspection by its name on any scope without creating an inspection profile. Use Run Inspection by Name (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I) action anywhere to choose a desired inspection from hundreds of available,

then select a scope to run inspection on,

and get results.

This action is available since version 98.402 in Main Menu-> Analyze->Run Inspection by Name.

JavaScript Libraries in Intellij IDEA 10

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Meeting the needs of developers working with JavaScript, Intellij IDEA 10 adds a new feature to allow specifying global JavaScript libraries that can be used across multiple projects. For a particular project you can set a scope for each library by defining files and directories the library is applicable to. If you already have JavaScript files in your project and keep your current settings, code completion and navigation would work as before.

Faster XML coding with new completion features

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

How often do you write XML configurations like that above? How many keystrokes does it take?

This one is written in just moments, with the help of the new completion features coming in IntelliJ IDEA 10. First of all, the IDE completes all required subtags for you, even nested ones. Second, you can use smart completion feature to ensure that the tags you write are in order described in your XML schema.

If you do not know where your new tag should be inserted, invoke the Generate / XML Tag action from context menu, choose the tag you want, and IntelliJ IDEA will generate a completely valid XML structure and insert it in the right place of the document.

Download the latest IntelliJ IDEA EAP build and try this in the next XML file you open.
