Today we’ve released the next EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.2. Among the usual amount of bugfixes, noteworthy changes are support for BuildConfig.java (added in a recent release of Eclipse ADT) in the Android plugin, an updated version of SVNKit for better Subversion 1.7 support and a workaround for a JDK 6 bug that caused mouse events to be received with incorrect coordinates on some GNOME 3 versions.

Today we’re beginning the Early Access Preview for the next bugfix update of IntelliJ IDEA, version 11.1.2.

You can download the new build from the EAP page or update from the IDE using “Check for updates”.

This is a cross-post from WebStorm & PhpStorm blog, originally posted by Konstantin Ulitin.

As you may know from the previous post about JavaScript Libraries in Intellij IDEA 10, the main benefit of specifying JavaScript libraries in your project is to populate a completion list with only relevant members. We have reorganized the configuration panel at Settings|JavaScript|Libraries, so it hopefully become easier to use. (more…)

After we released IntelliJ IDEA 11.1, a critical bug was discovered in the SVNKit library, which could lead to changes being committed to the wrong branch after you switched your working copy to a different branch. We’d like to make the fix available to our users as soon as possible, and we’re doing this today by releasing the IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.1 bugfix update (build 117.117). In addition to the SVNKit fix, it also fixes a problem which caused plugins to get stuck in the “Downloaded” state without any possibility to install them, and a number of other minor issues.

If you’re already running IntelliJ IDEA 11.1, you can upgrade to the new build using the “Check for updates” action. Otherwise, please download the complete installer.

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 introduces a new way of browsing the gathered coverage information through a dedicated Coverage View.

This view aggregates the coverage details over a configured scope in one place. It provides ability to sort data by coverage percentage, what can be used for detection of code which is not enough covered by tests.

As always quick navigation, scroll from/to source, flatten packages mode are available in Coverage View for an easy work with the results. It also allows generating HTML report right from the view.

Please note, that the view is also available for Python, Ruby and PHP coverage plugins.

The new feature is already available in IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 released a few days ago. We appreciate any feedback. Please don’t hesitate to submit any found issues to our tracker.

We are excited to announce that IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 has finaly arrived and is available for download.

From the feature-list below you may wonder why such a big update is only a minor version.
In many aspects this release finishes what we had started with version 11 last year.

We could not finish Subversion 1.7 support at that moment because of several reasons. And we knew you could not wait for version 12 release to get it.
The Gradle support we added in 11 was a good start but we felt (and you told us too) that there should be more.
The new IDE UI created last year was a very welcome change but if you compare it to the current you’ll see the difference. It’s in details. But its always about details, isn’t it?

The major new features of IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 include:

• Subversion (SVN) 1.7 support
• Reworked UI for Git branches, branches synchronization for multi-root projects
• Android Lint and some other tools integration
• Better Gradle integration
• EcmaScript 6 (Harmony) support (Ultimate)
• Sybase and DB2 SQL dialects (Ultimate)
• Hibernate 4.0 (Ultimate)
• Improved Flex project setup (Ultimate)
• Performance improvements
• Further UI tuning

Please read more about these and other new features of IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 on our What’s New page.

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 is a free upgrade for all owners of IntelliJ IDEA 11 Ultimate licence. If you use any older version of IntelliJ IDEA, even 4.5, check out the upgrade options.

And of course if you are using the Community edition, you can just download the new version.

- Develop with pleasure!

This is a post from MobileTech conference in Munich, Germany where we enjoy talking to a bunch of mobile developers about IntelliJ IDEA for Android and AppCode for iOS. And we thought like sharing with you one more feature coming in IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.

With the latest IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 EAP you can easily launch Android tools such as DDMS, Hierarchy Viewer and Draw 9 Patch right from the IDE. New actions are available in Tools | Android menu.

For a proper interaction with ADB we highly recommend launching DDMS from the IDE, not from a file manager or command line. If you want to launch it from the outside of the IDE or launch Eclipse+ADT without closing IntelliJ IDEA, please disable ADB service from Tools menu before it.

Please feel free to give us feedback in comments here or submit bug reports in our tracker.

We’d like to apologize for a major problem which was introduced in yesterday’s RC build and led to incorrect font antialiasing settings being used in the editor on Windows and Linux platforms. We understand that the problem made the build unusable for a large part of our EAP users, and we’d like to get the fixed build out as fast as possible.

The RC3 build (117.46) is now available for download on the EAP page. If you’re interested in the complete list of fixes, you can check out the release notes.
