JetBrains recently announced that
IntelliJ IDEA will be open-sourced and have an Apache 2.0-licensed version with the release of 9.0.
Those who've been reading
My Secret Life as a Spaghetti Coder for a long time will know
I totally love IDEA.
I haven't written software in Java for quite some time, and I don't normally do "news" posts, but I know enough of you are into Java, Groovy, and Scala to make this worth your while if the 249ドル was pricey enough to force you into using lesser Java IDEs. Now you don't have to.
Get it and I don't think you'll be disappointed. But don't wait until 10.0. As Cedric Beust pointed out (and I'm inclined to agree),
"
IDEA going opensource means that it will now slowly die."
I hope not, of course, but one has to wonder.
