JetBrains announced Monday a public preview of the JetGroovy Plugin, enabling Groovy and Grails developers to leverage the company's IntelliJ Idea IDE.
Productivity features of IntelliJ become accessible by Groovy and Grails programmers. Capabilities available include:
* Context-sensitive code completion with resolution of symbols between Groovy and Java.
* Syntax highlighting, code formatting and folding.
* Error highlighting, including unresolved classes, unresolved unqualified properties, incompatible type assignments and method calls.
* Auto-insertion of imports statements.
* Refactorings, advanced navigation and views.
* Automatic generators for Grails controllers.
Users of the IntelliJ Idea 7.0 Milestone 2 release can use the JetGroovy Plugin preview, which is downloadable here. The final release is due by the end of the year.
