JetBrains continues to improve IDEA. Download build #957 today. I used the split panes tonight, that was really nice. Even better than having Notepad opened on my second monitor. Now I just need a bigger monitor :) Time to upgrade to the twenty-one inch...
SSH support for CVS is seemless. The CVS plugin is a champion in my book. I right clicked on a new folder (whose letters were brown letting me know that it had not been added yet) and chose Add... This popped up a dialog that allowed me to choose the type of files and exclude those that I did not want to be committed. Very slick.
Three cheers for Live Templates. Saved the day again, but this time in generating SQL. I created templates for creating tables, foreign keys, integer and varchar columns. Creating a schema has never been so easy.
But IDEA is not without its flaws. I am annoyed by the project taking a level all by itself in the project view. Unless they add support to have multiple projects open in the same window, this is a waste of valuable space. A minor fuss.
