Demetra Roadmap

General IDEA features

Code coverage integration
Incremental test run. Re-run only tests that execute changed code
Searchable option dialogs (MacOS X Tiger like)
Project-wide error highlighting (to be displayed in project view)
Floating editor tab groups
Custom inspections and intentions based on structural search and replace templates
Extract method refactoring enhancements. Will work in some cases, where it currectly refuses to.
@NotNull annotation runtime assertions
Version control integration usability enhancements: tree-like or list-like changes instantly available in the toolwindow.
Inplace rename refactoring for local variables
Module system should support notion of interface and implementation
Separate dependencies for module interface, implementation and test parts
JUnit4 support
Background update from the VCS
Code completion API
Embedded languages API: XML tag contents and attributes, java string literals
Global inspection API
Classic options view usability improvements

Major usability improvements for editing forms
Possibility to generate code using GridBagLayout (no more forms_rt.jar requirement)
Support for all Swing components and property types (colors, fonts, icons, setLabelFor, etc)
HIG-compliant borders, spacing and indents, baseline alignment
Support for nested forms
Possibility to create and navigate to event handlers and Swing actions from the form designer
UI inspections (automatic checking for UI guidelines compliance)

Integration/Nightly/Release build automation
Build triggering: VCS, manual, schedule
Build grid / cluster support
Easy build setup from .ipr file
Existing builds coded in Ant or Maven will be supported
Instant notification
- Navigate to failed tests in IDE
- Review failure stacktrace in IDE
- Re-run failed tests locally
History, statistics
Run build using local sources snapshot without committing to the VCS
Delayed commit: build and commit if successfull
Update to the sources of the latest successfull build
Mark tests as ignored.

Instant messaging including code pointers, stacktraces exchange with group chat support
Contact list, registered project committers
P2P sources sync: diff with remote peer project state, ability to take changes from and to.
Collaborative code review: auto-follow-me navigation
Warn if start editing file modified by someone else in terms of VCS
Warn if simultaneous editing causes merge after commit.

Code inspection
Code duplicates
Code coverage
Results to be published on the Web and displayed directly in IDEA editor where applicable and necessary.

Share project-wide configurations (run configurations, code style, inspection profiles etc.)
Continuous integration status
Project commiters info (online/offline, contact info, currently working on etc.)
Project billboard
Server-side code analysis results.

JSF Configuration Authoring Support (jsf-config editing aids, form-based config editing, navigation diagram editor)
