JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

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.

Contexts and Dependency Injection (JSR-299) support in Maia has been significantly improved.

• Reworked tool window:
  

• New code inspections:
  • Injection points inconsistency. Detects Injection Points with ambiguous and unsatisfied dependencies
  • 
  • @Typed annotation errors.
    

  • Unproxyable bean types inconsistency.
    

  • And more:
    
• Improved Rename refactoring for @Named beans
• Better navigation to @Typed beans
• Enhanced dependencies diagram, and more.

Maia gives you an easy way of analyzing Web Bean class dependencies — just invoke a pop-up menu on any class in your editor. (more…)

Instead of wasting your time searching the menus and toolbars in an attempt find out that action you need right now, use the Find Action command (Ctrl+Shift+A) to quickly locate what you need. It works just like Go to Class:

IntelliJ IDEA can help you to analyze and quickly navigate to components in your Web Beans project via dedicated tool window that shows custom annotations grouped by type.

To change settings of a module that hosts the file you are currently editing, just press Alt+F1, 7 or open the View menu, select Select In and click Project Structure.



IntelliJ IDEA will open the Project Structure dialog and jump to the required module.



This action works for files from libraries and JDK, too, and is available in every view that lists files — Project View, Changes tool window and so on.

In IntelliJ IDEA you can quickly navigate within JPA/Hibernate ER-Diagram using the File Structure Popup (press Ctrl+F12, or invoke View menu, File Structure Popup command):

With IntelliJ IDEA you can easily configure navigation rules in faces-config files without making a lot of tedious typing. Just open a faces configuration file, select the Navigation tab, and then drag pages from project tree and drop them to the graph.

Added pages can be linked with mouse — just draw a line from one page to another.
