JetBrains Releases IntelliJ IDEA 5.1 Java IDE

JetBrains has announced the release of IntelliJ IDEA 5.1, the latest version of the company's award-winning Java IDE (integrated development environment). IntelliJ IDEA 5.1 is a professional-grade tool for developers working in situations where time is money and sustained productivity is a measure of success.

Perhaps the most significant new functionality in Version 5.1 is an unprecedented level of support for internationalization of new and existing Java applications. The main new features and enhancements in IntelliJ IDEA 5.1 include:

* Industry's best i18n support IntelliJ IDEA's greatly enhanced internationalization support now surpasses any other Java localization tool currently available, with capabilities that include:
* New Quick Fixes for the Hard-coded string literal inspection, including the ability to smartly internationalize a string concatenation that contains hardcoded literal values.
- Convenient, sophisticated means to exclude particular string literals from internationalizations. Among these, the @NonNls annotation can be applied to constants, parameters, even entire methods, etc. causing them to be ignored for localization.
- New intention actions and inspections for formatting properties and messages that allow you keep application resources in a consistent state

JetBrains has created a Japanese localization of IntelliJ IDEA 5.1 using the new i18n functionality. The localization is being released concurrently with the original English version through XLsoft K.K. - the JetBrains reseller in Japan.

* Improved JavaScript and Web Development support Version 5.1 introduces a number of important improvements to JavaScript support, equipping both experienced developers and "newbies" with a full arsenal of features. Even AJAX development becomes quick and simple (especially when developing AJAX libraries).

Other new enhancements include new navigation, completions and refactorings, plus new Find Usages capabilities for JavaScript and (X)HTML.
* New JSP debugging support Source-level JSP debugging when remotely connected to IBM WebSphere 5.1 or later. Other enhancements to JSP/JEEE support include completion and/or renaming of references to Java methods from Hibernate, Spring, and JSF configuration files
* More support for plug-in developers.
