What can I do with IntelliJ Community Edition?

The free IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, built on open source code, is for pure JVM development.

Yeah, I really like it . It’s got a lot better Maven support, that’s for sure. It’s got a completely different feel than Eclipse that you’ll have to get used to, but eventually it’ll feel even better than Eclipse ever did. And it runs smooth as silk.4 Tem 2013
