No doubt you've heard about Java EE 7 Launch this Wednesday, Jun 12th. Do you plan to attend the Java EE 7 launch webinar to learn the latest improvements in the platform?

We've been watching the JSR progress and working on it for some time. Below is a number of short videos demoing our forthcoming support for different JSF 2.2 (JSR-344) features.

IntelliJ IDEA 10 includes an option to setup an application server right in the New Project Wizard. You only need to specify a directory where the server is installed: IntelliJ IDEA will create a sample application, setup it accordingly for the selected server and will add a corresponding Run Configuration. Once project is created you can just click Run button to start the server.

Next Maia EAP build includes new action that lets you quickly update a running JavaEE application after you changed its code. To invoke it, either press Ctrl+F10, or click this button on the Run tool window bar: IntelliJ IDEA will allow you to select what to update in application: Settings are saved in a current Run Configuration, so you can change them later even if you select Don't ask again option.

Maia supports Servlet 3.0 specification (JSR 315). You can now create a Web application without a web.xml descriptor: Now, configure your servlets and filters with @WebServlet and @WebFilter annotations: Everything is recognized by IntelliJ IDEA, as well as Web fragment descriptors and static resources packaged in libraries. You can also use built-in Glassfish v3.0 integration to deploy your applications. Good luck!
