IntelliJ IDEA is an intelligent Java IDE that provides a combination of development tools. Its key features include intelligent coding assistance, smart navigation, numerous refactorings, code analysis, Web development, unit testing and code coverage. IntelliJ IDEA's functionality is continuously extended by users and third parties via plugins.

Updates in V11

In-place Refactorings - UI for refactorings has been improved for better usability.
Event Log view - A single place to see all IDE notifications and take action where needed.
VCS Support Improvements - New 'Digest' view means you spend less time on routine VCS tasks such as pre-commit reviews.
Git Log Graph - Highlight commits and provides actions like create tag/branch and checkout revision.
GitHub - Bundled integration now supports Gists creation for sharing your code instantly from the IDE.
Diff - Shows class and file comparison. Folder diff also allows merging folders.
Play Framework - IntelliJ IDEA now supports Web development using the Play Java Web framework. The IDE provides syntax highlighting, formatting, navigation and completion for built-in tags.
Spring - Improved performance for large models.
Android Development - IntelliJ IDEA supports development for Google Android with the latest Android 4 SDK (Ice Cream Sandwich). A 'Preview' pane displays the UI as you code. Various options such as screen size, target platform version and theme allow more control on what is displayed.
Testing and Debugging - An interactive XSLT debugger is included with IntelliJ IDEA 11 for debugging XSLT stylesheets. JSLint / JSHint integration allows you to check your JavaScript code quality as you write it by running external validators. The JavaScript Debugger lets you customize properties of an object that you see while debugging. This works for both Firefox and Chrome JS debuggers.
Web Servers - Out-of-the-box support for JBoss 7, WebSphere 8 and Jersey 1.10 Web servers.

Version 10 also features faster code indexing, support for Maven 3 and integrated database table editor.

Updates in V10

Brand New Code Completion
Code even faster, with the new completion auto-popup. No need to invoke it.
100% Faster Project Indexing
The start-up project indexing ensures that IntelliJ IDEA is smart and quick when it comes to coding, navigation, refactoring, etc. And now, indexing is nearly twice as fast compared with the previous version.
VCS and DVCS
Bundled Mercurial support: just check out or open a Mercurial project — and start working right away. Git support now offers a brand new Git log view, along with other major new features. Native GitHub integration: open projects right from the repository, or share your project as a new repository right from the IDE.
Test Results Export to HTML/XML
Save results of any executed unit tests into a separate HTML or XML file. Works for JUnit, TestNG and all supported frameworks.
Faster Project Sync on Linux
The new native file system watcher for Linux allows faster synchronization of the project tree with the IDE upon external changes.
Easier Multilanguage Editing
Edit embedded language fragments (e.g., SQL in Java, or HTML in JavaScript) in a dedicated adjacent full-featured editor, with instant synchronization with the main editing area.
Detachable Editor Tabs
You can now drag and drop the editor window outside of the IDE frame.
Lighter UI, More Native Look & Feel
New lightweight UI lets you focus on what really matters — the code. Whatever platform you use, the new Look & Feel looks and feels much more native.
Soft Wraps in Editor
You can finally enjoy this highly anticipated feature! Soft wraps are available not only in IntelliJ IDEA, but also in all other IDEs built on its platform.
Marked Objects in Debugger
Any marked object can be now accessed via its label wherever an expression is evaluated, even if this object is not available from the current debugger context. This works in Expression Evaluation dialog, Watches panel or Breakpoint Condition field.
Database Table Editor
The dedicated DB table editor allows you to quickly and flexibly modify or review data in any table, without having to type and run SQL queries from the console.
Customizable Console Folding
Analyze any stacktrace faster, by folding non-informative output lines according to your own rules. You can even modify rules on the fly, right from the console.
Android Development
Android plugin is now part of the IntelliJ IDEA. Write unit tests for your Android application using the Android testing framework. IntelliJ IDEA will automatically create a sample test class for your main activity so you can launch tests directly from the editor.
Flex/ActionScript Support
New ActionScript/MXML refactorings: extract interface, extract superclass, change method signature, delegate methods, introduce parameter.
Major GSP editing improvements
Completion for names of controllers, actions, templates, GSP-files, named URL mapping, etc. whenever possible. Renaming related artifacts together (e.g. renaming matching .gsp together with a controller action, renaming matching test classes together with production ones, etc.)
JSF
Added extended support for popular libraries: RichFaces, PrimeFaces, Standard(html and core), OpenFaces, and IceFaces.
Ruby, Python, Scala and CFML Plugins
Updated versions of Ruby, Python and Scala plugins provide new advanced features for Ruby on Rails, Python/Django and Scala developers. CFML plugin is now bundled with IntelliJ IDEA.
