JetBrains Flagship IntelliJ IDEA 4.5 Java IDE Released
JetBrains Inc, creator of intelligent application development tools, announced
the general availability of IntelliJ IDEA 4.5, the newest version of its
award-winning Java IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The new release
features enhanced code inspection and powerful, on-the-fly code analysis, full
Java SDK 1.5 support, plus a host of new and extended features to increase the
productivity of developers at all skill levels.
IDEA 4.5 features include expanded ability to find and correct errors before
they leave the screen and enter an application's development cycle. Preempting
errors allows Java developers to write better code faster and makes their
applications more stable and polished right from the earliest stages.
"Our enthusiastic users include world-class developers who increasingly
proselytize for IntelliJ IDEA inside their organizations," said Eugene
Belyaev, president and chief technology officer. "As a group, they set very
high standards and have consistently helped us meet their expectations by
contributing to IDEA's continuing evolution. We keep pace with their needs
only through extensive give-and-take that keeps us flexible and often presents
wonderful challenges."
Widely recognized as the industry leader in automated code optimization,
IntelliJ IDEA 4.5 introduces such innovative coding functionality as Locate
Duplicates and Analyze Dependencies. A code Productivity Guide helps
developers expand their own capabilities so they become more productive on a
wider range of projects, increasing their professional value to their
organization.
