We are proud to announce the release of IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.2, which is much more than a maintenance update. It specifically supports JetGroovy Plugin 1.0 for Groovy and Grails developers and Ruby plugin 1.0 for productive Ruby development.

With JetGroovy, IntelliJ IDEA brings the following productivity-boosting features to Groovy and Grails:

• Cross-language support, which lets you develop applications both in Groovy and Java, with all features supported seamlessly, as well as to compile your project in a single step
• Built-in debugger capable of working with both Groovy and Java code
• Smart, context-sensitive GDK-aware code completion with cross-resolution between Groovy and Java
• Syntax highlighting, code formatting and folding
• Error highlighting which includes: unresolved classes, unresolved unqualified properties, incompatible type assignments, method calls, and more
• Auto-insertion of imports statements, parameter info, etc.
• Refactorings, advanced navigation and views
• GSP support with Grails tags and inline Groovy coding assistance
• Dedicated Visual Application Model editor for Grails
• Automatic generators for Grails controllers, views, domain classes, jobs, script and more

Ruby developers will benefit from the following features and support:

• Advanced coding assistance with smart code completion, including RHTML code completion
• JRuby support, with coding assistance and navigation
• Syntax highlighting, code formatting and folding
• On-the-fly code inspections with error highlighting and one-click quick-fixes
• TestUnit and RSpec test frameworks support
• Ruby and Rails live and file templates plus intention actions
• Refactorings, advanced navigation and views
• Automatic generators for Rails skeletons, actions and Ruby access modifiers
• Run configurations for Ruby and Rails applications, with various application servers support

JetGroovy and Ruby plugins are supported only in this IntelliJ IDEA 7.0.2 maintenance release. Users of older versions can find their upgrade plan or consider 30-day free fully functional trial for evaluation.

You can download the plugins and get more information either from the IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Repository or via the built-in IntelliJ IDEA Plug-in Manager.

Develop with pleasure!
