I'm eagerly awaiting this plugin - having recently switched from Java/IDEA

to C#/VS.NET, I'm really missing a lot of the features IDEA had previously
spoiled me with.

100% agree. I'm in the exactly the same situation and I'm counting the days
for the eap release.

The Optimize Imports tool would also be a nice addition.

One thing I really need is a new Class view.
The class view / solution explorer in VS 2003 is really bad.

Also it could be nice with:

- Matching braces highlighting (REALLY NEED THIS)
- Ctrl + mouse click (GoTo definition)
- Code formatter
- Easy generation of Property's
- Import Assistant
- Intelligent error highlighting
- Auto-insertion of closing brace
- Live Templates
- Find usage
- Parameter Info
- Surrounding of selected code fragment with try/catch

There are some troubles...

The features of Whibey are really so incredibly compelling that to not embrace Whidbey asap is to be left in the dust.

There are several software initiaves I was starting and had hopes of selling, but MS frankly handles them far better than I had endeavored to (e.g. objectspaces, two-way binding, web parts, master pages, master/detail controls)

So Whidbey support will be critical.

Wherever I work I hope they'll shell out more $$ on top of VS.NET, but it's hard to say, depends on their budget.

But for us independent workers, requiring VS.NET will be a killer - we'll end up with nothing.

Not if you can do your best to ensure that the plugin still works when added on to say Visual C# distribution of VS.NET, that's sweet. Their price point for this has been about $100, so I see how I could manage to spend about another $100 for the IntelliJ plugin if it's all I hope it will be.

Cheers!

When will the EAP for the VS plug-in open? I NEED the features now after switching from Java to C# some months ago. VS is not usable enough, and after getting used to IntelliJ I feel like I am using an IDE from the dino age.

Believe me, my whole company will embrace your new product if it is as good as IntelliJ.

You're trolling, right? MS has not been the be all end all solution before and it won't become one in the future.

MS presence in the mobile market is still ridiculously small compared to other big players. And those other big players will want to keep that area M$ free at all costs. Server side is still more java land than .NET land. It's still more than two years to next MS platform, who knows what kind of killer features will IDEA (and Java) have by then? =)

BTW: have you looked at the tiobe index lately to see how nicely C# has been growing (-0.66% in last 12 months)?

You know, Hezekiel, this is not a Java vs Microsoft nor even a Java vs C# thread.

When Goldstein said "The features of Whibey are so compelling..." he's not refering to Java, but to the current release of .NET framework (as opposed tothe Whibey release). Also look at the thread title.

So I think you're the one trolling here. Just leave seesharpers to themselves if you think C# is not worth your time.

I think that:

to not embrace Whidbey asap is to be left in the dust.


is a bit premature statement, don't you think? The world will end for all those who don't embrace Whidbey now?

Sorry. It was not my intent to start a flamefest. Nor do I have anything against Jetbrains for developing .NET plugin. But the aforementioned statement about dust is so blatantly wrong that I just had to comment about it.

Now, ..must ..resist ..further comments.

All of this is planned for release, and many things are already
implemented

Hezekiel,
Well, I suppose sometimes my "flamebait indicator" is weak.

My comments regarding Whidbey are in relation to what Whidbay offers versus the current release.

So if you're already a .NET 1.1 advocate, then my statement stands, and the list of specific features upon which my opinion is based is right there... allowing people who have already educated themselves to make their own educated decisions.

Certainly no animosity or baiting going on here - I love Java too :)

Sorry for sounding a bit stupid maybe, I just stumbled into this discussion, but what does this plugin mean? Is it a plugin for VS.NET that will give me lots of wonderful refactoring tools for C#? Or is it for J#? Or...?

I love refactoring and I love intellij and would die to get the same functionality when I'm coding C# in VS.NET.

Please explain what this plugin does :D

It's a plugin that adds part of IDEA functionality to VS.NET and work with
C# language. Later we'll make a standalone IDE with much richer
functionality.

We actually had a paper w/ the number of days until the intelli.net (whatever) release hung up on the wall. Have to reset it now.

Can't wait, guys...

This should probably be moved to it's own group. Will not be long till it
is generating a fair amount of traffic.

Check out sharptools and the freeware components from Morrison Schwartz, they have a plugin that is extensible for the .net IDE and they have a component for creating your own plugins
