IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 Featureset and New TeamCity Product Announced

by Scott Delap on Jul 14, 2006 |

Jetbrains has announced the full featureset for the upcoming IntelliJ IDEA 6.0. Major focus areas include JEE, Swing GUI Designer, Continued Code Assistance and Refactoring Support, and integration with their new TeamCity product. Highlights include:

Migrations to EJB 3.0
EJB Persistence Support
Struts/JSF Support
Browser Specific Javascript Code Completion
Javascript Refactoring and Code Inspections
Smart Javascript Completion for popular frameworks suchs as Prototype, Dojo, and Bindows
Appserver Integration with Weblogic, Websphere, JBoss, Geronimo, and Glassfish
Google Web Toolkit Studio Plugin
JGoodies FormLayout Support
TeamCity Integration
IDEtalk in IDE Instant Messaging and Code Pointers
Eclipse Java Compiler Support

Jetbrains also introduced their TeamCity team environment product. TeamCity enhances Java development at the team level the same way that IntelliJ IDEA does at the developer level. Features include a continuous integration server, code statistics and analysis, and a valuable new feature called delayed commit. With delayed commit the team server will first run tests on the changeset a developer commits. If all tests pass the code will be commited to the version control system. If tests fail the developer will be notified and the changeset will not be committed. As a result the development process of the entire team is not disrupted by failing build issues.
