how can i capture the screenshot of an app using ddms from intellij Idea?

I have been using intellij for some time and i find it very useful. though i couldnt find a way to make it work.

Could any one please tell me if this is possible from within the IDE itself?

UPDATE: Screen Capture feature was added in IntelliJ IDEA 13 (and Android Studio):

Screen Capture

It's available in the Android tool window (View -> Tool Windows -> Android).

Answer for older IDEA versions:

IDEA doesn't have this feature. If you are on Windows, you can try something like Android Commander or use DDMS directly.

New IDEA versions have a menu shortcut for Monitor (DDMS replacement in recent Android SDK versions):

Monitor

After running Android Debug Monitor, use the Screen capture button:
