JetBrains adds SQL support to latest IntelliJ IDEA

By Alex Handy

November 10, 2008 — SQL has come home to roost in the new IDEA. JetBrains last week released IntelliJ IDEA 8, the latest update to its popular Java IDE. But Java was hardly the focus of the new features and integrations, which introduces SQL query design and management tools into the IDE. A new UML class browser has also been added, expanding the capabilities of this IDE beyond just Java and into the ephemeral support languages and structures commonly used in enterprise applications.

Max Shafirov, IntelliJ IDEA project lead at JetBrains, said that, despite these new additions, IDEA remains focused on Java. "Although IntelliJ IDEA has grown a lot during the recent years and added support for many frameworks and languages, at the heart it remains a code-centric IDE. This has always been our main focus, and this is what we believe to be a natural approach to developing even complex applications with pleasure," said Shafirov.

For IntelliJ loyalists, version 8 updates the core editor with new refactorings and code inspections. Also new to this version are tools for working with unit tests and the new “dataflow to this” command. Both should help developers get a handle on confusing code when debugging.

On the framework and protocol front, IDEA 8 now supports Spring 2.5. Included in that support is the ability to deal with Spring Dynamic Modules, for component-based developers. Beyond that, IDEA also brings in support for JBoss Seam.

Just in time for the completion of JSR 311, IDEA also adds support for dealing with and creating RESTful Web services.

JetBrains has ideas about speeding up its Java IDE Aside from speeding up IDEA, JetBrains is also integrating TeamCity with Amazon's EC2

SQL still serves When it came to database programming, SQL was supposed to give way to other languages. But new technologies, such as LINQ, JPA, and improvements to SQL itself have allowed it to persist as the language of choice in this field.

Zeichick’s Take: Java, Java everywhere The results are in from SD Times' Java & SOA Study, and it shows that out-of-date systems are still being widely used
