JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Thanks everyone who joined us last week and took part in the second webinar about IntelliJ IDEA plugin development. If you remember in the first webinar we were building a tool for generating implementations for Comparable interface using Guava library. In the second webinar we pickup where we left off and focus on testing plugin code using built-in framework, managing project dependencies using project model API, writing inspections and intention actions.
