  • You can now download and configure the desired JDK from your IDE, by selecting it from a drop down menu.
    Oracle restrictions on  long term support for java and open source initiatives to mitigate the problem have complicated the process of finding the right JDK. A welcome help for the novice user.
  • Inline refactorings. It has always been counterintuitive that a simple thing like a rename was a refarctoring. Now IntelliJ will detect when you edit the signature of a method and automatically prompts you for a refactoring in a little drop down.

  • code vision: in-code indications of usages/implementations of methods
  • debugger dataflow analysis: the debugger predicts values of variables in statements you have not reached yet, by analysing your code
