IntelliJ IDEA 7 is out!
Congratulations to JetBrains on the release of IntelliJ IDEA 7!
I now use it for opensource development (IzPack) and for teaching (in combination with Glassfish which I like better the more I use). I have always been impressed by how helpful it was. Last example: developing using Java Server Faces:
- It grabs the JSF implementation I want from the web.
- It provides a very helpful completion for everything, including taglib declarations and the likes.
- The
faces-config.xmleditor is helpful: XML editing, form panel or graphical view of the actions flow.

However I still wonder why none of the big players (IBM, Sun, Oracle, BEA, Borland, ...) never tried to acquire JetBrains...
