[ANN] PropertiesEditor Plugin 1.6

Feature request: different icons for "folders" which have a property value attached.

example:

a.b=foo
a.b.c=bar

a's icon should be a "normal folder" (such as now)
b's icon should be a folder with a superimposed sheet
c's icon should be a sheet (such as now)

Of course the rename working only in property files is not much useful: if the rename does not touch java and jsp files nearly all usages of the property become broken!

Hi,
It's just beginning wait please :)

TIA,
Dmitry

This brings the following interesting question to the table:

What happens when you rename a.b? The user should probably get the option to
rename everything recursively or not, i.e. rename only a.b or also a.b.c,
a.b.c.d, etc.

Yes, I thought about this and... decided I am too lazy to decide what is the best solution! ;)

I think it should be presented as a check-box to the user or as a list of
potential things to change with All / None buttons and checkboxes.

Taking a flat property file and turning it into a tree is great, but if the
file existed before (like ours) it was treated as a flat file, even though
in many cases the tree representation makes sense because of naming
conventions etc.

Hi,
"Potential things" is properties deep to hierarchy?

How plugin can help you to turn your flat files to tree-like properties naming?

TIA,
Dmitry

Yes.

For example, the plug-in can detect various naming conventions and suggest
unifying them.

For instance, if in a properties file there are:
myFirstProprty
some.other.property
YET_ANOTHER_ONE

The plug-in, according to the preferred "property file code style" suggest
to unify the code style.
Let's assume that the preferred code style is small letters separated by
dots.
The suggestion would be to rename myFirstProperty to my.first.property and
YET_ANOTHER_ONE to yet.another.one.

About automatical detection I'm affraid it very difficult to implement :(

TIA,

Not really, just collect statistic about different conventions used in
the property file (check delimeter: it can be '_', '.' or
'$CAPITALLETTER'), sort it and choose the top one. Rest modify
respectively. Very easy to write unit-test thus very easy to code.

Hi,
I mean not detection but presentation of it. It must be kind of inspections but I don't know how to make more like "IDEA".

Intention would be a good place.

Hi,
Using intentions for batch operations is not good idea, there must be some kind of inspections for this feature, I'm think.

TIA,
Dmitry
