If you haven't tried the new and shiny IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 yet, there's a good reason to do it right now. Welcome IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.1, an update that brings lots of important bugfixes.

Earlier today we’ve published the first IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 RC. Now it is a good timing to give you an update on what’s been improved in this release with regard to supported frameworks, application servers and clouds. Spring Performance. Better performance of handling large projects with numerous beans, regardless of the way they’re configured–via XML descriptors or annotations. Meta annotations. Annotations based on @Autowired and @RequestMapping (including user-based and the built-in annotations such as @GetMapping and @PostMapping) are now supported and correctly resolved. Prop

Last week we've announced a public preview of IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3. Today we're publishing a fresh EAP build. Please give it a thorough look, and let us know (through our issue tracker) about any issues you'll find.

All it takes is a new React Native Run/Debug configuration. Just create one, select the target platform, and make sure that path to the React Native CLI package is correct. The support assumes that you already have React N

Fresh IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 EAP build, packed with various improvements is here. This and all future builds will have the Gradle composite builds support, so you can substitute any of your project dependencies with another project. Imagine your project has compilation time dependencies to org.sample:number-utils and org.sample:string-utils: Now, you'd like to change something in these libraries (a very common case). Normally you'd need to open the sources of these libraries as separate projects, make the changes, build, upload new artifacts to the repository, then update the depend

Although recently we've been posting a lot about IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 EAP and new features it brings, we did very little mention of JavaScript and companions.

ECMAScript 6 For ECMAScript 6, we now have better support for destructuring assignments: Also, the Find usages and Show usages actions have been extended to support default-exported functions and classes: Angular 2 Codin
