JetBrain's IntelliJ IDEA v9 Open Source
JetBrains has announced that, starting with the next release – version 9.0, it will offer its IntelliJ IDEA Java development environment as open source software. IntelliJ IDEA is to become available in two versions; a free and open source Community Edition, and a commercial Ultimate Edition, which will apparently be similar to the current version. In various polls IntelliJ IDEA, has been voted the third most popular Java development environment after Eclipse and NetBeans.
The developers have chosen to release the Community Edition under the Apache 2.0 Licence, which they also use for several other of their open source projects. The free version is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux; it offers various re-factoring, code inspection/help and debugging features that IDEA developers are likely to be familiar with. Furthermore, the Community Edition is designed to support testing with TestNG and Junit, version control via CVS, Subversion and Git, and building with the Maven and Ant build tools. The Community Edition will be available to download as a preview from today. The vendor has set up an open source page for the project’s future community.
The Ultimate Edition also supports various web frameworks and additional programming languages, and offers more deployment functions than its free counterpart. On its website, JetBrains provides a comparison of the differences between the free and the Ultimate Edition. The commercial variant will cost just under 500 euros. A”Personal Licence” option costs just over 200 euros.
In past time, the commercial IDE joints goes open source or discontinued when NetBean & Eclipse free environment comes into the field. There were, JBuilder, OptimalJ and Oracle’s flagship java IDE JDeveloper but only the IntelliJ IDEA remained as seemingly the last viable commercial product, with market share about 10 percent.
Happy Java Development

Hello, I just thought I would drop you a line and inform you that your page layout is really messed up on the Firefox browser. Seems to work OK on IE though. Anyhow keep up the great work.
