I have an XML document and I want to use that document to populate a corresponding set of Java objects. This is a commonly encountered scenario when working with Java, so what is the easiest method for Java XML Binding that requires the least amount of code? You can't answer that question without first defining what "easy" is in relation to the bindings between Java and XML.

To me "easy" is synonymous with "simple," so I am equating easiness to complexity. Complexity is of interest because things that are complex take longer to implement and are generally harder to maintain, based on my experiences with software in a variety of languages and platforms. Less code written means less code to maintain, and less code to write means less time is required to write that code. So what are the methods for binding Java and XML? I have used all of these methods in depth before, but this isn't exactly what I want though: Consider an RSS 2.0 document and what it represents: <? Introduction to Java 6.0 New Features - Part–I. Information for Plugin Writers. Nobody can ever hope to build a development tool that is all things to all developers.

IntelliJ IDEA is no exception (though many people tell us that it is most things to many Java developers!) Right now our Plugin Repository lists more than 500 plugins, both freeware and commercial. Install Plugins Using IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Manager IntelliJ IDEA provides integration with Plugin Repository. A convenient UI helps you install any available plugin from the Plugin Repository without leaving IntelliJ IDEA. (IDE Settings | Plugins). The IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Manager also supports automatically updating installed plugins when new plugin versions are released. If you think IntelliJ IDEA is missing a plugin with a framework support or a feature, please submit a request to Plugin Wishlist. Information for Plugin Developers Setting Up the Plugin Development Environment You can find the instructions for this at the jetbrains.org site.
