JADE Environment Development Ideas

We regularly produce code metrics to report on the health of our code base. Part of this is taking the Code Coverage files (CCD) from regular unit test runs, convert these to CSV and then match this up with the methods that have been created/modif...

Abstract and transient-only lifetime classes don't need a map file, yet they still let you set one. This means that when you make a change that causes a reorg, it lists all those classes as needing a reorg even though they won't actually be touche...

It would be nice if the Jade IDE worked the same as the rest of Windows does. If I right-click an entry in a list, it should select that entry, and present the context menu for it. Jade works differently from the rest of Windows in that only left-...

Currently the Jade IDE blocks you from logging onto the IDE with the same usercode multiple times without any obvious reason why this needs to be blocked. It would be nice if there was an option to allow you to logon with the same usercode multipl...

A feature I love in WebStorm is the TODO list. If there's something you need to come back to later you just start a comment with TODO. At the click of a button you can then see a list of all the methods with TODO tasks and the comment against them.

Currently, the IDE can only be updated by upgrading the whole JADE environment. As much as developers would love to upgrade as soon as we can to benefit from IDE improvements, the decision to upgrade is generally out of our hands as it is driven b...

If I have a property that's referred to in code, pressing F11 on it opens up the primitive type of the property rather than selecting the property in the class browser. I often try to get from a reference to a property in code to the property in t...

When loading code into an environment, we don?t always know what the impact will be. We run the gauntlet that we could unintentionally overwrite someone else?s code or deploy code that we didn?t intend to ship. To help address this, the scm deploy...

At the moment the copy method list is only available for Method References popup form. It would be a good idea to duplicate this copy method list functionality to all popup forms that lists methods (for whatever reason). As it may have been mentio...

If I have an abstract base class and then implement concrete classes it would be nice if there were a way of showing all the abstract methods that aren't implemented on the concrete class. Bonus points for adding skeleton methods that implement ...
