JetBrains MPS Blog http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps JetBrains Meta Programming System Team Blog Wed, 09 May 2012 08:41:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en JetBrains MPS 2.5 EAP just started http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jetbrains_mps/~3/M9vw01O6uco/ http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps/2012/05/jetbrains-mps-25-eap-just-started/#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 08:41:38 +0000 Václav Pech http://blogs.jetbrains.com/mps/?p=546 The good news for today is: JetBrains MPS 2.5 is round the corner. All the major building blocks are in place and we’ve just entered a 3 - 4 week period of final tuning and polishing. We offer a hot-off-the-oven EAP build for you to play with in the meantime. Within less than a month from now the final release should be ready for you to download.

Here are a few tips on what to especially look for if you want to take the the EAP build for a test ride:

The IDEA plugin, which let’s you run MPS languages in IntelliJ IDEA
The new build language allowing you to automate the process of building your projects
Dependency Analyzer and Module Dependency Checker/Tool
Changes in the refactoring language
Suppressing warnings and errors

A full (a bit raw) list of the already finished new features is to be found here.

If you hit a problem in the EAP build, shout out. Fixing the problems you discover in the EAP version is our current main priority.
With your help we are in for a great release!

Listening to your requests we wrote down a plan for future MPS releases. It took us a while to clarify and prioritize the major important tasks ahead and I think the outcome is pretty promising.
Why not check it out right away at

We’re going to stick to the roadmap for our further development. The map is not set in stone, however, so feel free to comment, discuss and vote for issues in the tracker to help us steer the projects towards your needs.

This one really needed to be eliminated urgently. Please, find the fixed 2.0.6 release ready for download. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you want to see the offending bug, check out the release notes.

JetBrains is sending Alex Shatalin, Maxim Mazin, Evgenii Schepotiev and Vaclav Pech to spread the word on MPS and the cool stuff that we create with it. Besides meeting us at the booth, you’ll also be able to see us on stage during the MPS hands-on session, which we hold on Wed 28th, and then on Thu 29th we’ll continue with a YouTrack/Web-DNQ case study presentation as well as with an MPS IDE functionality demonstration. See you all there!

We’ve recently shot several instructional screen-casts to help beginners familiarize themselves with the tool. Markus Voelter shared his story on why and how they use MPS to build mbeddr - a C-based programming environment for embedded devices. Daniel Stieger with Berthold Agreiter shot a two part overview demonstration of their modellwerkstatt.com product. And there are a few more screen-casts to show up at JetBrains TV soon.

If this is the kind of content you’d like to watch fresh, I suggest you tuned the MPS channel right away. This way you won’t miss a beat.

Now, the most important message - the channel is open to all MPS fans to display their own stories, ideas and tips. Have you discovered a feature of MPS that you’d like to highlight for others? Do you build an MPS-based product? Have you created an inspiring DSL that people should know about? Please use JetBrains TV and add your voice to the choir.

One important note to add - we’ve prepared a whole set of new educational screen-casts on MPS and language design, both introductory and expert level. They’ve been published through the MPS channel of JetBrains TV. Check them out!
