IntelliJ IDEA 7 - method does not exist and more

For a while I was getting annoying errors in IDEA early release distributions thorough their EAP, and this was becoming an issue as the errors were disabling basic functions like code highlight. I was quite concerned that IntelliJ quality is going down but at the same time I didn't think I was right to say it because those distributions are not really meant to be stable. However, after a few tinkering here and there I realized I was getting those error because I was extracting new releases on previous releases and apparently it was not the best thing to do. One still may keep the bin directory but it is not too bad of an idea to do a clean install each time.

In any events, IDEA 7 has a nice Spring and Hibernate support. I have been enjoying code completion for HQL queries and Spring beans. Every now and often I can see a minor false-positive error detected in my HQLs but I have a feelings these things will go away in the main release of version 7. No matter what, I still prefer to stay a customer. I can't find my way in Eclipse. Therefore, that's not really an option for me.
