 Now I am using Intellij IDEA 15 Ultimate Edition at work since July 2014. Although I have to **pay two licenses** for the [[https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/#commercial?billing=yearly|Intellij IDEA Ultimate]] and the [[https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7525-hybris-integration/pricing|Hybris Integration Plugin]], the use of this IDEA acelerates my work and saves my time and saves my customers money. Now I am using Intellij IDEA 15 Ultimate Edition at work since July 2014.

 +  * **You get all the features of the IDE for free**. If you want to use Java EE features or Spring beans refactoring in Intellij IDEA, you have to pay for the Ultimate Edition. If you want to run integration tests inside the IDE and have autocompletation in Impex files, you have to pay for the Hybris Integration Plug-In.

 +<WRAP center round important>
 +Since June 2019 you not only have to pay for the Intellij IDEA Ultimate but also for the Hybris Integration Plug-in. Those tools are worth the EUR 500/200 your company paids the first year((as invidual or after two years it is cheaper)) because they speed up your development. But use the 30-days trial decide on your own.

 +  * **When you build the Hybris project with Eclipse, the Hybris models are generated or updated.**
 +  * **After an update of the Hybris Platform, the dependencies of each extension (libraries) are automatically updated**. Intellij have an option to associate the iml file with the classpath file but it messes up the Hybris dependencies after a version update of the eCommerce Platform. FIXME
 +  * The integration of Sonar in SAP Hybris Projects works. The current version of the two Sonar plugins for Intellij don't support multiple modules((As of July 2016)).

 +If you did this refresh (import of dependencies) and a **compilation error** still stops the execution of your unit and integration tests, edit the test's configuration. Replace the "before launch" step //build// with //build, no error check//.
