JetBrains Announces Public Beta Releases: IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 and Innovative New TeamCity

July 27, 2006; 08:50 AM
JetBrains, creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing applications,  announced the public beta release of its award-winning flagship IntelliJ IDEA (version 6.0) Java IDE (integrated development environment). The company also launched its innovative new cross- platform team management system, JetBrains TeamCity(TM), into concurrent public beta release.

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 and TeamCity are designed to function independently, but also integrate tightly when used together, raising developers' productivity and code quality. IntelliJ IDEA, designed for individual Java developers, is a recognized innovation leader and winner of many industry awards. TeamCity, the new JetBrains teamware product, facilitates collaboration, raising productivity in development teams.

"We needed something that would boost the productivity of entire development teams the way IntelliJ IDEA does for our developers," noted JetBrains' Marketing Director, Alex Tkachman. "We found nothing that filled the bill, so we built TeamCity. As with IntelliJ IDEA, we began using TeamCity internally from the outset, and already it's every bit as indispensable to our teams and our development as IntelliJ IDEA."

Developers and others can download the beta versions of TeamCity (http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/index.html ) and IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 (http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/beta.html ) with time-limited beta licenses.
    
    About JetBrains TeamCity

JetBrains TeamCity is a new, IDE independent, integrated team environment targeted for both software developers and their managers,
helping them to solve problems that typically bog down development teams. It increases the productivity of the entire team to the same levels that individual developers experience with IntelliJ IDEA.
    
    TeamCity's key benefits include:

-- Continuous Integration Support -- Integrate and remotely test code
    changes many times a day utilizing either JUnit (Java) or NUnit (.NET)
    testing frameworks
-- Delayed Commit -- Helps keep the code in version control clean and
    functioning at all times
-- Effective Build Management -- Includes powerful and intelligent Build
    Grid that allows running multiple builds and build types at a time,
    using any of these popular build tools:  Ant, Maven, NAnt, MSBuild
-- Code Coverage analysis -- Reveals the extent of source code covered by
    tests
-- Static Code Analysis -- Remotely verifies source code
-- Web-based Interface -- Handle administration and configuration tasks,
    work with TeamCity features and view handy dashboard-based project
    reports using a web browser
    
IDEs can use TeamCity's API to integrate with it, to provide easy switching from code integration and team activities to developer tasks and back. Developers can get information about build results right in the IDE, quickly navigate to the code from build notifications, and more. TeamCity 1.0 is already integrated with IntelliJ IDEA 6.0 and additional integrations with popular IDEs are planned for future TeamCity releases.
