IntelliJ IDEA is a commercial Java IDE by the company JetBrains.
The first version of IntelliJ IDEA appeared in January, 2001 and quickly became very popular, as the first Java IDE with a set of integrated refactoring tools that allow programmers to quickly redesign their code. IntelliJ IDEA's design is centered on programmer productivity. A number of its features accelerate development and allow programmers to concentrate on functionality while IntelliJ IDEA handles more mundane coding tasks.
IntelliJ IDEA has often been compared to Eclipse, a similar IDE from IBM, but IntelliJ IDEA's focus is more on maximizing programmer efficiency. However, the two IDEs bear strong visual resemblance.
Among other features, IntelliJ IDEA provides close integration with popular open source development tools such as CVS, Subversion, Apache Ant and JUnit.
As of March 2006, the current version is IntelliJ IDEA 5.1.
