New Spring Beans Quick-fixes in IntelliJ IDEA 12.1

Yann Cébron

Since IntelliJ IDEA 12.1 is already available for the early preview, we can tell you now about the new features.

If you ever referenced existing beans across multiple Spring configurations, you will find the new quick-fixes very useful. Now you can change dependencies between corresponding contexts in Spring facet without leaving the editor.

Let’s say we have two Spring XML configuration files: spring-config.xml and another-spring-config.xml, where each of them is configured in its own application context in Spring facet.

Let’s reference existing bean “sampleBean” across the existing, and yet unrelated application contexts.

Notice the new quick-fix Use existing bean from context… appears when IntelliJ IDEA detects a matching bean in an existing Spring configurations.

After invoking it you will be able to choose a corresponding action from the list:

Just choose one of the available options to fix your setup automatically or use Open Spring facet settings to make changes manually.

Stay tuned to our blog for more details about the new features upcoming in IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.
