We think you’ll be glad to know that IntelliJ IDEA 134.1342 has just been released. So far it’s the latest preview build of the upcoming IntelliJ IDEA 13.1, so grab it while it’s hot to check out the new features and enhancements:
- Live templates are now suggested in Code completion.
And you can use Ctrl+Space to apply a template (along with the good old Tab): - Code blocks automatically indented after closing a curly brace.
- And of course there’s a lot more. See the Release Notes for complete coverage.
More details on what else is new in IntelliJ IDEA 13.1 features are coming soon.
Meanwhile, don’t hesitate to share your feedback on the discussion forum or in the issue tracker.
Update: If you’re using Mac OS X and would like to run this build on JRE 1.7 make sure to use the dedicated bundles (such as ideaIC-134.1342-jdk-bundled.dmg and ideaIU-134.1342-jdk-bundled.dmg) instead of manually editing the Info.plist file. Otherwise IntelliJ IDEA may not start.
Develop with Pleasure!
Grate to see another release with nice features and improvements.
Unfortunately the release doesn’t fix the tons of maven bugs we all are waiting for. Because of all the open bugs IntelliJ still has the worst Maven support compared with Netbeans and Eclipse.
I’m interested in details on the ‘tons’ of maven bugs you’re referring to – in my experience, the Maven support in Idea is absolutely stellar. As opposed to Eclipse, it just works, and a POM is a first-class project definition.
I’ve never had any major problems with it at all, and we do some fairly complex stuff with Maven – what are you seeing?
Which bugs? I didnt notice any one. Please, give me the links to issues.
Maven works fine in simple projects. But we are using Maven and it’s features extensively in our projects. Here are just some examples of bugs retarding our daily development business.

And there are a lot more in the bugtracker. We haven’t determined any of these problems in Eclipse.
Amen to that!
I am waiting for Spring Java Configuration support, some issues reported more than 1 year, and still no hope, no promise, just silent IDEA-87346, IDEA-118073
I agree with Andreas. there are quite a few issues. One of which has affected my team at work. Maven tools and integration definitely needs some attention
