San Francisco, California, -- JavaOne -- June 28, 2004 - JetBrains™, Inc., creators of intelligent application development tools, today announced that attendees at this week's JavaOne show in San Francisco will have a sneak peek at upcoming release 4.5 of IntelliJ IDEA, the company's technology-leading Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Java. JetBrains prepared the fully functional, pre-release demo disk specifically for visitors to JetBrains (Booth #1430). It will not be available elsewhere prior to the program's planned general release during the first half of July.
IntelliJ™ IDEA 4.5 is the newest version of the award-winning JavaT IDE (Integrated Development Environment) from JetBrains. With enhanced code inspection and powerful, on-the-fly code analysis, IntelliJ IDEA 4.5 incorporates a new code Productivity Guide and introduces a host of new and extended features including Locate Duplicates, Analyze Dependencies and full Java SDK 1.5 support.
The new and enhanced functionality preempts errors before they are introduced into the application development cycle, allowing Java developers to write better code faster and to significantly improve their productivity.
JetBrains, which introduced enhanced intelligence into application development software, continues to lead the trend towards smarter tools by transforming traditional, passive tools into active and interactive aids that provide useful and intelligent feedback during the development process. IntelliJ IDEA 4.5 not only helps developers put code on the coding canvas faster but also evaluates what is being added and makes useful suggestions on how to optimize what is being written.
'The feedback we receive from our enthusiastic users shows we provide world-class developers with the best tools,' said Eugene Belyaev, President and Chief Technology Officer. 'As a group, they consistently set very high standards for us. We have kept pace with their needs only through extensive give-and-take, a process that often presents wonderful challenges.'
