RubyMine 1.1.1 with Subversion 1.6 support

While we are actively working on new features for future RubyMine releases, here is the maintenance update to existing one — RubyMine 1.1.1. Together with the fixes, this update brings full compatibility with Subversion 1.6 and a number of other minor additions.

Check what's new and Download RubyMine 1.1.1.

IntelliJ IDEA 9 Milestone 1 is available

This Milestone release delivers a fresh preview of features and improvements we've implemented so far for IntelliJ IDEA 9. We encourage all early adopters to share their feedback and request more new features they want to be available in the final release. We appreciate all your input.

For Everyone on Java

Global unused symbols highlighting. Shows dead code instantly, as you type.
Easy class exclusion from completion & auto-import. Allows to get rid of unwanted java.awt.List et al.
Built-in spell checker that verifies comments, literals and identifiers in your code.
Make Java a concise language with auto folding: generic parameters, one method anonymous classes (aka poor man's closures), i18n-ized messages etc.
See what particular index.html you're looking at with customizable colors for editor tabs.
Enjoy Subversion 1.6 support.
And more.

Java EE 6 Support

Though the specification itself is in late beta at the moment, IntelliJ IDEA 9M1 comes with initial support for this new standard of Java enterprise application development. The support includes error highlighting and usual editing aids for JPA 2.0, EJB 3.1, JSF 2.0, Servlet 3, Web Beans and Bean Validation, as well as support for GlassFish 3 Preview. We expect our Java EE 6 support to mature to the moment of IntelliJ IDEA 9 release as Java EE 6 / Glassfish going gold.

Also

OSGi Application Development
Android Development
Google App Engine Integration
New JavaScript Debugger. The JavaScript debugger is now implemented as a Firefox plugin, so you can debug applications running in your favorite browser, not only in that embedded in IntelliJ IDEA.
PHP Support
AIR support
FlexUnit support
Support for class, method and call hierarchy in ActionScript code
GWT 1.6

JetBrains Introduces New Issue Tracker

Today, we're opening public access to our own issue tracker code-named Charisma. You're welcome to download the latest Charisma builds and try them in your own environment.

Why in the world did we turn our sights to issue tracking? Based on our own corporate experience, a top-class issue tracker should be able to do the following:

Provide a lightweight UI that only shows as much detail as a developer wants.
Support keyboard actions throughout the product.

Keeping these priorities in mind, we have designed a product that provides the following features:

query-based issue search

all critical unresolved issues for me

query completion

demo

Inline issue editing, straight from within the list of search results — in addition to the more traditional dedicated-page editing. (demo)
Batch commands that share syntax with search queries let you quickly select several issues and modify their attributes simultaneously. For example, once you've typed for me open fix for eap1 in the command window, all selected issues are assigned to you, their state changes to Open, and fix version changes to eap1. (demo)
Tags — custom attributes assignable to any issue — and saved searches help users build their own paths for navigating between issues and quickly access most relevant issues. (demo)
AJAX-based user interface provides multiple advantages, including the ability to quickly hide or expand details on demand.
Extensive keyboard support helps create, edit, and navigate between issues using keyboard shortcuts. Mouse support is available as well, with filters, instant edit buttons, and menus representing common commands.

Intuitive search queries, inline editing, keyboard shortcuts, language-based commands that the user can apply to multiple issues — all this makes Charisma intuitive and easy to use without overloading the UI with too many controls.

Of course, we're gradually migrating our own products to Charisma. Currently, the users and developers of TeamCity, MPS, and dotTrace all work with the new issue tracker, providing valuable feedback.

You're welcome to download Charisma EAP builds and try them out on your own server (see installation instructions for details).

As there's still a long way to go towards beta, we encourage you to report any bugs that you may encounter, or make feature requests — you can do both here. You can also keep in touch with Charisma developers and learn what's going on using our new blog.

Whether or not you download Charisma right now, you can read useful tips and watch Charisma demos on its Welcome page.

Start investigating the new JetBrains product in your own environment, and help us make it better every day!

Beta release is planned for the third quarter 2009.

A Bunch of Innovations in the Line of JetBrains Products

Several popular products from JetBrains have simultaneously introduced a bunch of innovations, to improve user experience and productivity.

The brand-new Voice Control plugin for IntelliJ IDEA has gained the highest user rating during less than a day. Now you can associate a voice command with any action - just like a keyboard or mouse shortcut, and IntelliJ IDEA will literally listen to you, immediately carrying out the required action when you speak the magic words.

You are encouraged to view a quick live demo showing the plugin in action.

Our popular CI server, TeamCity, came up with a feature that would help developers weather recession. It is designed to improve your project ROI and raise team motivation. It allows you to automatically charge developers for broken builds, abusing hardware resources, and more.

To start improving your project bottom-line today, click here to learn more and download the latest TeamCity build.

Our .NET users would definitely appreciate the new opportunity to customize their ReSharper build. Now you can build your own distributive, with our brand new ReSharper Configurator. Choose the analysis engine, select the feature packages you need, the supported languages, and even the colors! Go lightweight or feature-rich - it's all up to you.

Click here to build your ReSharper now: www.jetbrains.com/resharper/build_now.html.

We hope you enjoy the innovations, and wish you always develop with pleasure :-)
