Todo List

• Templates for generating logging statements: Ex. logger.debug("${methodSignature} - ");
• Support for replacing System.out, System.err, and printStackTrace() with logging statements.

Expand searching from non java source files (spring xml, hibernate xml, etc).
Third party plugins may provide this functionality.

• Safe deletes. Check for references before deleting.
• Convert anonymous class into inner/outer class.
• Convert inner class to outer class.
• Extract interface.
• Method / Class / Field renaming.
• Push methods / fields up to superclass or down to subclass.
• Move types, methods, fields.
• Code "Clean Up"
  • Remove Unused Code (imports, private methods, private constructors, private types).
  • JSE 5.0 (add missing @Override, add missing @Deprecated)

• Template for test case
• When viewing a junit result file allow linking from stack trace elements.
• File type support of junit result files w/ search functionality.

• Generate anonymous class body, including all methods that need to be implemented, from the start of defining one (new Runnable())
