IDEA; Agile Software Development; and Continuous Integration
Hi all,
Does anyone have some great ideas about how IDEA could make Agile Development(like XP) and continuous Integration an easier task. We already have the basic building blocks like Ant integration and refactoring but couldn't IDEA do more.
I am thinking of Maven, XDoclets, Velocity, etc. These are all tools I have wanted to sink my teeth into but time is always a problem. IDEA has provided a perfect platform for me to learn to use ant and refactoring. Maybe they can do the same for other technologies.

Maven and xdoclet intergration has been discussed to death in these fora. We got to the conclusion that:
1. Maven integration is not really necessary
2. The only thing that IDEA could do about xdoclet integration is provide code completion on javadoc comments for the xdoclet tags. However, we all agreed that there are more important matters.
All in all, really good tools shouln't need further integration -- they should be good enough to use without it (no, I won't give a single line of talk about JSF).
Why not have integration like with Ant.
I completely disagree with this idea. I think That IDEA is proof that integration can create synergy between technologies. Take the way IDEA integrates Ant and Junit.

For continuous integration, have a look at Cruise Control FWIW, there is a IDEA plugin in the form of Dashboard.

Control to handle Automated/continuous building based out of version
control ( and trigger by version control commits ).

True..... Very True. It's a great tool and ideally shouldn't require any integration. Anthill is great too
