Project Configuration

• Smarter project setup
  • Detection of existing libraries
  • Detection of JavaEE aspects
  • Selectable default project layout (Maven etc)
• Rework of Project Settings UI
• Directory-based project settings storage
  • No project reload for most settings changes

Deployment configuration

• Configurable packaging of project output (generalization of Web module deployment options)

Dependency management

• Dependency structure matrix
• Suggestions on what dependencies to get rid off with maximum effect

TestNG integration

• Adaptation of existing plugin

Maven integration

• Project structure synchronization
• Execution

Version controls

• Generic support for offline VCS operations
• Incoming changes toolwindow (up-to-date list of changes recently committed by other users)
• ClearCase UCM support
• Directory Diff

Refactorings

• Extract constructor (from another constructor)
• Move class into other class
• Inline (inner) class as anonymous
• Replace method with method object (aka builder pattern)
• Extract method to look for method call duplicates across the project
• Extract class
  • Extract bunch of fields into separate class with bean access autogenerated
  • Extract independent part of functionality with delegation from original class
• Change type
  • Select bunch of type occurrences and replace them all at once building transitive closure based on type flow.
  • Replace array with generic collection (list). Should be aware of toArray() pattern and avoid collection->array->collection conversion

Code Generation

• Generate visitor support for class hierarchy

Peformance improvements

• Faster startup and project opening
  • Local History rewrite
  • VFS rewrite

Update management

• Enterprise plugin repository
• IDEA Auto update
• Silent install
• Plugin auto update, plugin configuration export/import (for large teams)
• Plugin enable/disable
• "Safe startup mode"
• Search in Plugin Manager dialog

Java EE

• Migration of Web and Java EE modules to facets
• Database/mapping structure diff for JPA & Hibernate
• Spring patterns
• Spring AOP
• Making J2EE an optional plugin
• Web module configuration streamlining/making it more flexible

JavaScript

• Refactorings: extract/inline method
• ECMAScript level 4 support

Misc

• External annotations
  • Annotate library classes (e.g. JDK) with Nullable/NotNull/NonNls (for use by IDEA inspections, no code instrumentation intended).
• Global data flow navigation

Version controls

• ClearCase integration
• Create/Apply Patch
• Shelve Changes (temporarily remove from code and save as patch, then later restore)
• Store per-project mapping of VCS roots to project directories instead of module-based VCS config
• Autodetect VCS configuration for project

Refactorings

• DnD for move/copy in Project View
• Create inner class from usage

Find Usages

• List of recent "Find" results
• Background mode
• Display of code context for selected usage

Find in Path

• Support for scopes
• Find in zipped sources
• Find in library sources

Debugger

• Frame/Watches simultaneous view
• Smart step
• Show function return value (JDK 1.6)
• Automatic watches view

Eclipse Integration

• Import from Eclipse projects
• Direct reading/writing of Eclipse project files mapped to IDEA modules.

Peformance improvements

• JSP editing
• More operations performed in background (Find Usages, VCS update etc.)
