When can we see a roadmap with the features to come in IntelliJ IDEA 8?
At least an approximate time would do.
Also, if you don't know for sure, please tell us some of the features with
high chance of being implemented.

If you want this to be a surprise I totally understand, it's just that the
wait is killing me.

Still no news?

Hello Alexander,

Still no news?

All I can tell now is the list of technologies for which you'll see new support
in the first Diana EAP:
- FreeMarker
- Seam
- Flex
- JavaScript debugging
- SQL

Unfortunately there's not too much to brag about in the core Java support
area - but you'll soon see why. :)

How about Scala support?

Or support for distributed VCS (like Mercurial, git or Bazaar)?

Hello Alex,

How about Scala support?

We're working on that (again), but we can't yet say anything about when or
how this will be released.

Or support for distributed VCS (like Mercurial, git or Bazaar)?

For Mercurial, there's already an open-source plugin in development, and
we have no plans to start a parallel effort.

For git, looks like we'll have a pretty strong incentive to support it, but
we haven't made any definite decision yet.

For Bazaar, no plans at all for now. (Doesn't look like any of the major
projects currently using Bazaar would be interested in IntelliJ IDEA.) If
someone from the community would like to work on that, we'll be happy to
help.

But you just said something about when or how. ;)

Hurrah!

This is a pretty tall order to support multiple browsers
unless you depend on technology similar to GWT.
Hop you can pull this off !

- SQL

What about Velocity? It was promised even earlier.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you.
All of them looks interesting, but JavaScript debugging excites me the most.
That probably means an integrated browser....

It has been said but that's probably because IntelliJ is almost perfect there.



Waiting for the surprize, drooling... :)

How about JavaFX support?
All other is awesome good for me! :)

Hello Fazekas,

We don't have any plans to support JavaFX yet.

Did Microsoft end up buying JetBrains instead of Yahoo?

Yahoo! was going to buy JetBrains??

read "instead of (buying) Yahoo". ;)

Yeah, I know, but I don't do smileys...

If my humor of my words fails, it fails.

I suppose I'll just keep my day job. Whatever that is.

Agreed !

That probably means an integrated browser....

With the different DOM models for all the browsers ?
It has got to borrow concepts from GWT...
So will it debug any javascript code or only javascript that
use particular libraries to abstract out the DOM ?.

Man that is going to be one FUN project to architect/design and implement
And quite a cornerstone for future versions also.

The Ultimate functionality (In IntelliJ 9 +) would be: If they could seamlessly follow execution between Java and Javascript code. That would require the use of some type of proxy library or true http proxy to insert and consume special URI parameters that the JS debugger inserts into normal GET/POST and XML(Ajax) requests. Another Proxy Library for the web container would be in charge of consuming/inserting similar parameters. The proxy library could be a generic OSS library that synchronized threads between browsers and servers. That way JetBrains could leverage others to develop this library, maybe it already exists ]]>

But yes I am excited.

+100 for SQL

+100 for Integrated Browser

+1000 for better Ruby on Rails support.

Hello Duncan,

+1000 for better Ruby on Rails support.

Our Ruby/Rails plugin is developed independently, so it wasn't included in
the information on IntelliJ IDEA roadmap.

Do you have any specific requests for our Ruby on Rails support?

Can't wait to get my hands on the Flex debugger. Design my pages in Flex Builder and then for coding and testing - good-bye, Eclipse!

Peter

Oh, sad to read that. :(

Thanks anyway...

i read about the upcoming python plugin, waiting for that a long time ago. :)

How about Scala support?

We're working on that (again), but we can't yet say
anything about when or how this will be released.

Well, at least we now know that someday in our bright future we'll have Scala support in IDEA :)

Or support for distributed VCS (like Mercurial, git

or Bazaar)?
For Mercurial, there's already an open-source plugin
in development, and we have no plans to start a parallel effort.

This plugin is very primitive and too buggy to be useful (it's literally easier to work without it). I don't think it will be as good as SVN/CVS support in IDEA without your help.

For git, looks like we'll have a pretty strong
incentive to support it, but
we haven't made any definite decision yet.

Great!

For Bazaar, no plans at all for now. (Doesn't look
like any of the major projects currently using Bazaar would be interested
in IntelliJ IDEA.) If someone from the community would like to work on
that, we'll be happy to help.

It should be fairly trivial to change Mercurial/git plugin to support Bazaar.

It should be also easy enough to use git plugin for Mercurial or Bazaar. Are you going to open its source?

I would like to see support for generated sources: a module with the
"generated" flag set should keeps its content read-only (especially
important for refactoring).

Tom

Interesting idea.

Since most code generators (certainly the ones I encounter from ANTLR and JavaCC) include a distinctive comment in the files they generate, it might be nice to be able to configure some regular expressions that, when detected (perhaps only within the first or last N lines of a source file) would trigger the "generated" flag.


Randall Schulz

For simplicity I think about placing generated source code into a separate
module. You don't need to put it under version control, because you can (and
should) generate it from other sources. Then it is the easiest to configure
the version control system (even outside of the IDE) to just ignore this
particular directory (or its content).

Tom

Well, to me that seems gratuitously complicated, but it's really beside the point of my suggestion of providing a way of auto-detecting the kind of files you want made read-only.

Randall Schulz

Hello Alex,

Bazaar. Are you going to open its source?

If we do decide to develop a plugin for git, then yes, it will be open-source.

JavaScript Debugging sounds great. What I would be even more excited was better support for GWT and GWT-EXT. Even better would be a built in GWT Designer similar to "GWT Designer" plugin for Eclipse. Also I would vote for a better support for developing, testing and debugging with GWT and Spring for backend.

I've tried about every Ruby on Rails editor out there (Aptana, Coda, Textmate, Vim, Netbeans...) and I have to say even though your implementation is lacking in features I consider it the best because it simply works.

With that said however, I'd like to see the following added to RoR support:

1) I'd like to see an integrated debugger. I know I can use ruby-debug but I'm spoiled by Intellij's Java capabilities.

2) Better code completion/intelli sense. It's pretty good now, but there are many keywords that are not picked up.

You guys are the best at what you do and I like to see continuing effort place on RoR as well.
