This product is as good as I have heard - congratulations! I may almost be persuaded to stop using emacs. The quick Javadoc function is a great idea.
Since IDEA seems to me to be the best IDE from a smaller company, and it is already integrated with Javadoc, CVS and ANT nicely, I have a suggestion. Take a look at http://www.jdiff.org. This tool, which I wrote under LGPL, extends Javadoc to produce precise HTML reports about the differences between two Java APIs. Users can see in the report which methods, constructors and fields were added, removed, or changed. You can also see how the documentation comments changed. It is already set up to be easily run from ANT. I am imagining an extension to the Javadoc section of the Project Properties, which would let a developer specify a CVS tag which identifies all the files in an older version of their product, and then IDEA runs the jdiff Javadoc doclet to produce HTML describing what changed. As far as I know, there is no other IDE on the market which provides this capability, so it would be as ground-breaking as the refactoring tools. JDiff is the only tool I have seen which does this properly. CVS: You could also use jCVS (a pure Java CVS client) to avoid having to refer to an external CVS client. ~Matt p.s. It was hard to find the existing IDEA documentation from the public webpage. p.p.s. Which Java static compiler is used to produce idea.exe? Was it Jove? Dr. Matthew B.
