Feature removal request! - GenerateSerialVersionUID & GenerateToString

Is this the general opinion from the community? If so I would remove it in a future release (toString)

Arn't these both just plugins thou? If so - just uninstall them!

Yes, I agree with it.

A potential downside to my suggestion is that currently it is possible to
assign a keyboard shortcut to invoke the plugin - I don't think that would
be possible if the top-level menu item were removed. But then, who has keys
assigned for this?

Yes, they are 'just plugins'. Very useful ones!

Afair you can fix it by removing the menu association in the plugin.xml in the META-INF folder of the .jar file.

These xml lines should be removed

Same goes for the GenerateSerialVersionUID plugin. I haven't seen enough
complaints to remove it at this point and I use it enough that I like being
able to have a keymap for it.

Okay I will leave it for folks to have keymaps.

People who does not want it to be in the menu's must manually change the plugin.xml file as documented above.

v2.12 just released has a feature to disable it from the menus.

- New feature to disable action from code and editor popup menus in settings. To enable again requires restart of IDEA (currently)


/Claus

This is the toString() plugin

Could you highlight how you did this so I can add this option to
GenerateSerialVersionUID?

Sadly the wiki does not work at the moment so I can not upload the source code.

I am at work now and does not have the source.

But I was inspired by this plugin:
http://www.intellij.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RemoveEditorPopupMenuActions

But you still have some messle with removing the menu's immediatly (not to require a restart).

I will paste the source code when I get home, if not drop me an email.

And my code removing the action from the menu

You can check the ActionManager.xml in the openapi doc for list of menunames.

And to add the menu back use the following code

     * The group must be of a DefaultActionGroup instance, if not this method returns false.
     *
     * @param actionId   group id of the action to add.
     * @param menuId     id of the menu the action should be added to. See ActionManager.xml in the IDEA openapi folder.
     * @param anchorId   id of the action to position relative to.  See ActionManager.xml in the IDEA openapi folder.
     * @param afterAnchor  true if the action should be added after the anchorId, false if before.
     * @return true if the action was added, false if not.
     */
    public boolean addActionToMenu(String actionId, String menuId, String anchorId, boolean afterAnchor) {
        ActionManager am = ActionManager.getInstance();
        AnAction group = am.getAction(menuId);

        // must be default action group
        if (group instanceof DefaultActionGroup) {
            DefaultActionGroup defGroup = (DefaultActionGroup) group;

            // loop children (actions) and remove the matching id
            AnAction[] actions = defGroup.getChildren(null);
            for (int i = 0; i < actions.length; i++) {
                AnAction action = actions+;
                String id = am.getId(action);

                // if match id then add action to menu
                if (anchorId.equals(id)) {
                    AnAction actionToAdd = am.getAction(actionId); // find the action to add
                    defGroup.add(actionToAdd, new Constraints( afterAnchor == true ? Anchor.AFTER : Anchor.BEFORE, anchorId));
                    return true;
                }
