IntelliJ IDEA OpenSourced, Visual Studio Perspective Future

I just testing IntelliJ IDEA from Jetbrains, I thought they still brave live in the propietary market, but now the Platform is OpenSourced and the good thing, they are Apache license. Sad the Struts2 is not part of the OpenSource version, which i am useing it mostly.

A discussion in our JUG said that the target of IDEA is education, create a new language on IDEA, but i love if IDEA can become business platform repositioning it self in new category where Eclipse and Netbeans are not in that segment, we are creating a business platform using Swing here, still under Postila project, but the development still going up (we use Swing with MIGLayout and Spring and Hibernate), but we are not expert in Swing management, which IDEA have it. Take a look Lotus Workplace, that is it. But anyway, we are trying to fill this segment anyway,.....

I can see after all the most popular IDE Java OpenSourced, including BlueJ (we did chat with Mike Kolling @ JavaONE 2007 -- he said, gave me the reason why should BlueJ OpenSourced)..

I love this movement will make the market of Java is getting more challanging..

Still dunno why Microsoft dont do this area, and also JDeveloper @ Oracle. both like war in their old world. I see a lot of new tools in Oracle based on JDeveloper, will the future Swing based Workspace based on JDeveloper also, compete with Lotus Workplace, but anyway it is not OpenSource, the power to grow community is less in this open market.

So, i still give A+ to IBM that invest in Eclipse and Lotus with same platform. which one from both IDEA or Netbeans .. or may be Visual studio will fill this area.

Visual Studio is still far behind now, the Visual Studio Platform is not Free to use by everyone, you must create your own platform, and after that you must create your own workspace on that.. far behind.. but we know Microsoft leadership in desktop... how a silly repositioning.
