Java

What follows is hopefully full list of outstanding issues in the Java/Editor team.

1. One missing refactoring - Encapsulate field (Will be done after), not risky, easy to do, work in progress.
2. Editor options - redo it according to the spec. Relatively large task. We will evaluate this after the M10 stabilization week. But it is likely to consume some time.
3. We expect that we will have to devote some time to do changes in GUI either required by the fix UI of big IDE effort or those which will likely come up from the editor usability study.
4. Some API cleanup still not done. We did first phase of the cleanup we want to continue. Obviously when we decide to change something we'll fix all usages throughout the codebase.
5. We might want to add some API required for other teams e.g. searching for java types using a dialog. (required by web and debugger). This is not risky and should be easy.
6. Some things to fix and partially rewrite which should not have impact on GUI or end-user and can be considered fixes but not easy fixes.

Mobility

Usability

All specifications finished. Some implementation work remains, mostly minor. Owners mentioned in parentheses (otherwise Pavel).

Remaining issues:

• EditorContextualMenus: specification done, but not implemented
• AdvancedOptions :
  • Editor Settings (mentioned by Hrebejk in Java)
  • GUI Builder - move 3 settings + colors settings from Advanced to Miscellaneous (Arseniy)
  • Implement File Recognizers settings (Tonda?)
  • Web Browsers - browser executable selection (Tonda)
  • View As Java Packages - move into View menu
  • CND Options - many options need to be moved, a few need to be removed
  • Remove all remaining advanced options - actions, menu bars, print, junit, etc.
  • Remove the Advanced options button
• ProjectContextualMenus: Profiler action, SOA and UML project's menu
• MainMenu - missing actions in Source menu (Hrebejk), missing items in Tools menu, move Profile menu, minor cleanup: Dynamic Help, Mobility Inspector, etc.
• NewFileWizard: fix ordering, SQL template
• MainToolbar: "attach profiler" action should be accessible via profiler drop-down button
• Quick Find - integrate with Find and Find Selection
