JADE Environment Development Ideas

Just a time-saving thing - often I change the structure of a class and want to immediately run the reorg. It would be nice if the dialog telling me that the schema had been versioned also had an additional button to initiate running the reorg imme...

Sometimes in Jade there were will be several statements on a line, e.g. Concatenating a string. If there is an exception and you click debug it will highlight the line (see picture.) Jade must know at least the source position because it is shown ...

While the code position gives the offset in the source code that an exception occurred, it's not really useful until you use the Methods > Find Code Position menu. It would be useful if Jade automatically showed the line number and column posit...

When doing a global search/replace Jade will nicely abort the operation if it sees any method as uncompiled. In my current situation I am refactoring quite a few methods and will need a few search/replaces before they get compiled. Unfortunately I...

Quite often I have seen a specification for XML using XSDs (XML Schema Definitions.) Not only does it contain the expected XML tags expected it usually contains rules, such as how many times a field is expected. Unfortunately as Jade developers we...

The new Ctrl+6/7 shortcuts, added to the Class Hierarchy Browser in Jade 2016 SP1, to allow a developer to quickly filter/select a property/method respectively are a vast improvement. Could we have a similar 'Ctrl+5' shortcut to allow us to select...

Sometimes it would be ideal to use the 'Trace Methods of Application' function for server based applications. Can we trigger 'Trace Methods of Application' from code, and can we choose where to log the output? I know we can change the 'Jade Interp...

This has been raised previously (PAR #64786), which has been under investigation for some time now. Copying here so it's more visible to others, as it complements #187. Packages would be more powerful if imported classes inherited from the ancesto...
