IntelliJ IDEA adds code completion

Released: Dec 13, 2010

Updates in this release

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.
