JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

When exploring a code, sometimes you end up in a decompiled code from a JAR for which there’s no source code attached. Previously you had to:

1. go find the source JAR on the Web
2. download it to your disk
3. go to your project structure settings
4. attach the JAR to the library of interest

A bit too much, isn’t it? Now (in the next EAP) IntelliJ IDEA 11 does it all for you:

Do you like Grails? Maia will support a dedicated Grails Project View reflecting logical structure of your Grails Web applications. This view can be selected from the View as list at the top of Project tool window.

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.
