It's best to look for new features at http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/newfeatures.html

What I was looking for was how up to date are the indicators on the feature list are (i.e. done, planned and inprogress).

Those are quite outdated indeed. We'll need to update them, thanks.

So XML support lessened, enhanced CVS support dropped. Not bad, considering all that's been added on since the original announcement. On the plus side, I got to learn about "View Recent Changes", which I now believe holds the undisputed title for "best hidden feature".

Thanks for that summary. I was wondering what the changes were.

You seemed to know about "View Recent Changes" in January;-)

It is the king of hidden features. This feature is so hidden it even
hides itself from the memory of its users:-))

A couple more I missed last time. Looks like the GUI Builder enhancements have been dropped, as has drag-n-drop "Move" refactoring. It's unclear whether there will be increased number of warning levels for inspections.

That said, when you write it all out like that, it does make for a very impressive list. (Have I really written 200 new inspections since Pallada?)

That would be unfortunate. A very commonly complained about feature from
Eclipse users.

(Have I really written 200 new inspections since Pallada?)


I sure hope so! Maybe we should double check that. Although I did count
the total number of inspections and arrived at 500+, so hopefully I
didn't miscount. :)

Unfortunately, I've never seen it work. It always throws some exception
when I try and use it :P

It works for me when there's no version control assigned to the project. Then it's really nice.

However, if I try to use it at work (using version control) then it all blows up.

it works for me, even when cvs is configured

although it took about a minute for the dialog to pop up when I've asked it to show the changes starting from the project root.

As of this morning, there are 487 inspections available in InspectionGadgets, 198 of which have automated or semi-automated quickfixes. Don't know how many there were when Pallada shipped, but I'd guess between 280 and 330. So 200 new inspections is within reason, but I'd check if I was you. Alternatively, you could just say "nearly 200", and you'll be safe. In the immortal words of Christopher Moore, "My approach to research is to always ask 'Is this accurate, or should I be more vague'"?

When this all started, I guessed I would maybe end up with 150 inspections at the outside...

You should be able to pump that number up to 500 before release, right!? ;)

Yep, I have CVS enabled. I submitted the exception, so hopefully they'll
be able to fix it.

Ok, there's enough meaningful information in the stacktrace so I hope we'll
be able to fix that soon.

The pantry is extremely bare. I think there are fifteen left in my "possibles" list, and most of those have been languishing for a while for good reasons. I'm just starting to build up a list of inspections for JSPs and Servlets, though, and that should probably take me over the top. Suggestions welcome, as always.

You may consider adding a few "universal" annotations" + their
associated intentions and inspections.


annotation: @TestOnly
- purpose: tag production code that is only- to be - used by test code.

inspection:
- enforce: "this field/method/class may only be used by code in the
test source tree"
level=error
- suggest: "this field/method/class can be annotated with @TestOnly"
level=warning
quickfix= add the annotation

intention:
- move this method/class to the test code tree.

Is there already one to convert a field to a variable or visa versa? Or to
narrow/widen the scope of a variable?

Do you care about intentions, too?
How about an intention to wrap a "return List/Set/Map" with a call to
Collections.unmodifiableList/Set/Map ?

The "narrow scope of variable" has been asked but it's probably on the list
of languishing possibles (unless it's been delegated to JB) due to the more
serious flow analysis required.
I miss it, too.

I would love this. However, depending on semantics, sometimes you want
Collections.unmodifiableList(new ArrayList(x)), so your clients don't
get ConcurrentModificationException...

Some javabean problems I saw lately:

- get/set methods type mismatches
- having getFoo and isFoo in the same class

Here is another one: Ability to convert

foo(bar++);

to

foo(bar);
bar++;

Thanks in advance,

Some time ago, we talked about smarter duplication removal/code
transformation intentions, like

before:

foo("one");
foo("two");
foo("three");

after:
String data={"one","two","three"};
for (String aString: data){
foo(aString);
}



There's still a lot of possibilities do in that direction.

I just counted 3353 vs. 4.5.4. I go to Settings > Errors, make sure the
dialog shows 20 inspections per screen, and count the number of Page
Downs I can do:

4.5.4
17 pages x 20/page + 18 on last page - 27 group headers = 331

3353
27 pages x 20/page + 4 on last page - 37 group headers = 507

So it looks like 'more than 500' is safe, but not '200+ new ones'. I'll
change the text so it's 170+. Is this a fair way to count them?

Seems reasonable, and neatly within my guesstimates.

A few other intentions/inspections, SQL related:

Flag usages of Oracle specific types when they could be
replaced with straight JDBC ones: ARRAY, BLOB, CLOB,
OracleCallableStatement, etc. (in many cases manipulating the
JDBC interface is good enough: Array, Blob, Clob, CallableStatement)
+ quickfixes.

intentions:

Blob blob = ...;
Array array = ...;
- statement.setObject(1, blob) ==> statement.setBlob(1, blob)
- statement.setObject(1, array) ==> statement.setArray(1, blob)

- blob = (Blob) rs.getObject(1) ==> blob = rs.getBlob(1);
- array = (Blob) rs.getObject(1) ==> array = rs.getArray(1);


..etc..

I'm working on a "Narrow scope" intention, using some simple heuristics
instead of flow analysis. So it's a little less advanced, but certainly
better than nothing. It just needs some polishing at the moment.
Unfortunately it looks like I won't have time to do that this week, but
I hope I will get it finished soon.
