A lot has changed since the last time I updated this blog. I am no longer the project lead for Omea. This summer I joined the IntelliJ IDEA team as a developer. Initially one of my main areas of responsibility was the OpenAPI documentation and support for plugin developers; most of my documentation work has been included in the IntelliJ IDEA 5.0.2 release. Recently I've started working on a new big task: updating and improving the IDEA UI designer.
The main push for me to resume blogging was the publication of the roadmap for IntelliJ IDEA 6.0, codenamed "Demetra". The work on Demetra started not so long ago, but a number of features announced in the roadmap (and some others not mentioned there) have already been implemented. In this blog, I'll describe and show the new cool features of Demetra right as they are being implemented.
(Of course, as Demetra is still far from release, so the details of the user interface and implementation of the features described here may change a lot before the final release, and some features may even get dropped. So please don't treat this blog as final product documentation. :-) )
