What's new here? The Eclipse community did this for years -- you had to pay for an add on to get anywhere with JSP development, etc.
Eventually the market forced base web development from a commercial value-add offering into the freely available Eclipse offering -- but the commercial partners in the Eclipse community milked this situation as long as they could. IntelliJ is just doing the same thing -- and who can blame them? They have to make a living somehow. Alex Turner wrote: > I hope you're being sarcastic.
