JADE Environment Development Ideas

Sometimes when refactoring a method, the use of a transient local variable is removed, but the deletion of the variable in the epilog may be missed. It would be useful if the detection of unused local variables could detect if the only use of a va...

Sometimes when developing or testing it would be nice to be able to just change the value of a property without having to write any code. With the inspector I can get to the property I want to change but I can't change it.

Often I have two class browser windows side by side in in the jade IDE. There are times I've used a spanned screen and had four windows. To set up this behaviour I open two/four class browsers, minimise the schema browser and press Alt + W, V (til...

Some of our customers databases have files that are quite large ? in one case the file size exceeds 400 GB. This file has a single class instances (and its exclusive collections). This becomes a problem when the file requires compacting or backing...

A new access type for properties and methods, which would prevent access from any other class including sub-classes.

A long time ago when you find a class but slightly misspelled the class name, Jade would still open the class browser for the closest name. In the last few years I noticed Jade would simply now give you an error and clear the text that you typed. ...

The IDE schema load is better now that multi-select has been added, but I think the distinction between loading one file, multiple files and MUL files doesn't need to be an explicit choice, it could be inferred from the files selected by the user....

The objective is to copy a production system for testing purposes with designated data values disguised without having to scramble the data. Initial requirements: 1. This would assume that the database would be encrypted to avoid direct exam...

Currently only classes or method can be specified in a schema extract parameter (.unl ) file. It would be useful if the was syntax option to specify an application to extract rather than having to manually go to the Applications tab and then selec...

The addition of an .ini option that takes a list of font paths, and calls gdi32.dll::AddFontResource for each provided font path, before the initial form is painted.
