JADE Environment Development Ideas

Sometimes I will code something that causes a runtime exception: 1307 : Cannot pass an exclusive subobject reference to this method.

The compiler doesn't give any warning I have coded something this way, collection.add(someExclusiveObject) compiles as normal.

When looking at 'someExclusiveObject' Property Details, the only hint I get that it's an Exclusive is an extremely subtle "non-virtual" at the bottom of the details. Compare this to a Non-Exclusive which has the words "non-virtual embedded" at the bottom, this is confusing.

It's very hard to catch this mistake before runtime. Some ideas:

- Property Details "non-virtual" / "non-virtual embedded" have a suffix afterwards to stipulate which one of these phrases is the 'Exclusive' version.

- Can the compiler check this and error instead of waiting for me to get a runtime error.

- Hover-text (and maybe IDE colour option) to help identify these while I'm coding.

Thanks
