General IDEA features

Code coverage integration
Incremental test run. Rerun only tests that execute changed code
Searchable option dialogs (MacOS X Tiger like)
Project-wide error highlighting (to be displayed in project view)
Floating editor tab groups
Custom inspections and intentions based on structural search and replace templates
Extract method refactoring enchancements. Will work in some cases, where it currectly refuses to.
@Nullable/@NotNull annotation runtime assertions
Version control integration usability enhancements: tree-like or list-like changes instantly available in the toolwindow.
Inplace rename refactoring for local variables
Module system should support notion of interface and implementation.
Separate dependencies for module interface, implementation and test parts.
JUnit4 support
Background update from the VCS

Integration/Nightly/Release builds automation
Build triggering: VCS, manual, schedule
Build grid / cluster support
Easy build setup from .ipr file
Instant notification
- Navigate to failed tests in IDE
- Review failure stacktrace in IDE
- Rerun failed tests locally
History, statistics
Run build on local sources snapshot without committing to the VCS
Delayed commit: build and commit if successfull
Update to the sources of the latest successfull build
Mark tests as ignored.

Instant messaging including code pointers, stacktraces exchange with group chat support
Contact list, registered project committers
P2P sources sync: diff with remote peer project state, ability to take changes from and to.
Collaborative code review: auto follow me navigation
Warn if start editing file modified by someone else in terms of VCS
Warn if simultaneous editing causes merge after commit.

Code inspection
Code duplicates
Code coverage
Results to be published on the Web and displayed directly in IDEA editor where applicable and necessary.

Share project-wide configurations (run configurations, code style, inspection profiles etc.)
Continuous integration status
Project commiters info (online/offline, contact info, currently working on etc.)
Project billboard
Server-side code analysis results
