This Milestone release delivers a fresh preview of features and improvements we've implemented so far for IntelliJ IDEA 9. We encourage all early adopters to share their feedback and request more new features they want to be available in the final release. We appreciate all your input.

For Everyone on Java

• Faster Environment. New, background-enabled file indexing allows you to start using essential editing features almost immediately. All the advanced features become available in minutes.
• Global unused symbols highlighting. Shows dead code instantly, as you type.
• Easy class exclusion from completion & auto-import. Allows to get rid of unwanted java.awt.List et al.
• Built-in spell checker that verifies comments, literals and identifiers in your code.
• Make Java a concise language with auto folding: generic parameters, one method anonymous classes (aka poor man's closures), i18n-ized messages etc.
• See what particular index.html you're looking at with customizable colors for editor tabs.
• Enjoy Subversion 1.6 support.
• And more.

Java EE 6 Support

Though the specification itself is in late beta at the moment, IntelliJ IDEA 9M1 comes with initial support for this new standard of Java enterprise application development. The support includes error highlighting and usual editing aids for JPA 2.0, EJB 3.1, JSF 2.0, Servlet 3, Web Beans and Bean Validation, as well as support for GlassFish 3 Preview. We expect our Java EE 6 support to mature to the moment of IntelliJ IDEA 9 release as Java EE 6 / Glassfish going gold.

Also

• Tapestry Integration
• OSGi Application Development
• Android Development
• Google App Engine Integration
• New JavaScript Debugger. The JavaScript debugger is now implemented as a Firefox plugin, so you can debug applications running in your favorite browser, not only in that embedded in IntelliJ IDEA.
• PHP Support
• AIR support
• FlexUnit support
• Support for class, method and call hierarchy in ActionScript code
• GWT 1.6
