JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Since IntelliJ IDEA 12.1 is already available for the early preview, we can tell you now about the new features.

If you ever referenced existing beans across multiple Spring configurations, you will find the new quick-fixes very useful. Now you can change dependencies between corresponding contexts in Spring facet without leaving the editor.

Let’s say we have two Spring XML configuration files: spring-config.xml and another-spring-config.xml, where each of them is configured in its own application context in Spring facet.

Let’s reference existing bean “sampleBean” across the existing, and yet unrelated application contexts.

Great news for developers who use Spring in their projects.

Upcoming IntelliJ IDEA 12 will add long time requested support for Spring Batch.

You can easily add support for Spring Batch using the integrated frameworks and libraries wizard.

Code assistance features include smart completion and highlighting in XML files and rename refactoring.

Predefined Spring EL variables are automatically resolved as well as special bean scope step.

You can try these new features now for free via IntelliJ IDEA 12 EAP.

Please give it a try and let us know how it works for you.

Develop with Pleasure!

Support for widely used Spring Security has been enhanced in upcoming release of IntelliJ IDEA 12 Leda. I would like to highlight some of these changes here. (more…)

From this short post you’ll find out (and see) how to:

If you use AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext then simply add your configurations or packages-to-scan to “contextConfiguration” context-param of your web.xml and these files will be autodetected by IntelliJ IDEA.

or add your @Configuration classes to a new annotation-based fileset if your application uses AnnotationConfigApplicationContext.

So, what do you think?

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.

Just wanted to let you know that in IntelliJ IDEA 11 we’ve added support for all 21 integration schemes with code analysis, completion, usages search and basic refactorings.

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.

Spring 3.1 significantly extends @Configuration based applications with a set of new annotations responsible for processing of Spring models

@ComponentScan configures component scanning directives for use with @Configuration classes. Provides support parallel with Spring XML’s <context:component-scan> element

@Import indicates one or more @Configuration classes to import. Provides functionality equivalent to the <import/> element in Spring XML.

@ImportResource indicates one or more resources containing bean definitions to import.

@PropertySource providing a convenient and declarative mechanism for adding a PropertySource to Spring Environment.

@Profile indicates that a component is eligible for registration when one or more specified profiles are active.
