Does anyone know of shared TODO list plugin for Eclipse that allows users in a a development team to all view and edit the same list of tasks?
Mylyn can be used to integrate issue tracking systems into the IDE.
It does this by making tasks a first class part of Eclipse, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA.
If you are not looking for a lightweight solution, then you might give it a try.
Other than the already built-in "Tasks"? It works by adding TODO, XXX or FIXME (in caps) in comments in the source code. I think this works pretty good and we use it at work all the time.
I don't know about such particular plug-in, but maybe that you could take a look to what the Communication framework or the Mylin feature offer you in term of collaborative work.
If you want to track a TODO-list among a couple of developer, you really want to use a issue-tracking system such as Bugzilla, Trac, or Jira. As soon as you've started to add tasks to it, you'll want features such as sorting on different fields, different kinds of views, etc.
That said, Mylyn is the best way to integrate it into Eclipse.
Ive just installed a plugin called fasttrack which is just the kind of thing I was looking for. Works best with SVN, but you can also use it with CVS.

I use IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3.2 Ultimate Edition.
I use the GitHub plugin bundled with it to create pull reviews. I am however not able to add reviewers when I create them.
Is this even possible? If not can the support folks please direct me if I can raise this request (or perhaps even contribute to this?)
Some UI to work with pull requests would be great too so it would be amazing to see if this is possible.
It is not possible at the moment - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-85079 and related, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-146659

I am working at a company that uses Redmine as the issue tracking tool and for user stories.
I need to design the QA for them. However I didn't find a section where someone can tie a user story or an issue with a test case. I've used to have this functionality on Rally.
Is there a free tool that integrates with Redmine or something like a plugin?
I want the following (or the more the better!)
Description
test steps (input-output)
Status (pass-fail)
Suite name (the suite the test is part of)
Attached issues
Version of SW under test
Thanks in advance
There is a "test case management" section in the Redmine Third Party tools documentation.
thanks for the support.A former colleague brought this to my attention:
https://bitbucket.org/bugzinga/redcase/wiki/Home
One thing I often see is people trying to adapt tools to do things that they were not originally designed for. Redmine is a good tool for issue tracking and is designed mainly to be a project management tool, although it is possible to adapt redmine, I would suggest in this case looking for a dedicated test management tool that has been designed to do that specific job.
I would suggest looking at TestLodge test management tool which I have worked on and is a designed to help you manage and execute your tests but at the same time integrates with Redmine and does things like automatically create tickets whenever a test fails.
By doing this, you are going to benefit from a range of things such as an interface designed for testing that will make you and your team a lot more productive along with a series of reports that will allow you to spot trends within your testing.
I'm trying to create a setup project and I can't believe how painful it could be. Non of the tools that I've tried to use, haven't satisfy me.
How come? Well, let's see:
First and easiest option: Setup project built in Visual Studio. Easy and fast. you can easily implement custom actions, even if you're code was written in c# or vb.net. Exactly what I wanted. But this approach has some drawbacks and the major one is unbelievably painful way to implement custom dialogs. For example if I need to ask for DB credentials, authorize the user and proceed with the rest of installation. But no. There is no way to build custom setup dialog in VS. Actually there is a way, but it's not an easy one. I mean what, are you kidding me? I have to spent a day to create a couple of simple dialogs?
Second option: Use some kind of a tool. Like InstallShield. You have to pay for it, yes, fortunately it's damn cheap. Only $5500. Not a big deal, right? Well maybe, but for me it's like "dude, forget about it"
Third option: Use WIX Nice, has many options. Not so easy to use like the one built-in VS but has many much better features. The only problem - I spend a few hours trying to convince that thing to run my code written in c#. I failed. Nothing helped and I give up.
Now. Please, please my fellow experts, all knowing developers. Help me. What should I do? What's the best way to solve my problem (believe me my boss will kill me, he likes to achieve results over dead bodies of his employees).
Tell me is there any better way to edit .wid files. Using Orca tool, isn't an easy solution.
Or show me a real example of setup project built with WIX which can run managed c# code.
Thank you!
I implemented a custom dialog by simply displaying a form in my custom action. This is a straightforward thing to do.
I don't suggest using either "Setup Projects" ( aka Visual Studio Deployment Projects ) or Managed Custom Actions ( in your context you are referring to InstalUtil custom actions ).
For managed custom actions I use Windows Installer XML - DTF ( Deployment Tools Framework ). This builds and packages your CA to look and feel to MSI like a C++ CA which means you can then consume it using InstallShield, WiX, Wise and so on.
I also don't suggest using CA's as fake dialogs. If you want a fancier UI write an external UI handler ( not a simple task ). I suspect your real problem though is that VDRPOJ doesn't expose this very well, that WiX is lot's of writing in XML. InstallShield gives you a drag drop IDE for working on custom dialogs. But then that would be one of the many reasons it isn't free.
It's been more than an year that i'm developing a new scripting language with its own grammar rules and constructs.
I'd like to give the users of this language some minimalistic ide to work with, but i don't want/have time to make one from scratch so i'd like to take one already existing (it has to run on Linux platforms natively, so no windows-only editors plz) and customize it.
Well, which one is the easiest to customize without changing the source code and recompiling it, maybe even with plugin support?
Thank you.
UPDATE
I don't need to know which editor is the best for you, i need to know which one is the easiest to customize AND, most of it, which one has the most complete documentation about new language customization.
Ex: SciTE is good, but its documentation about custom grammars is really poor.
Have you looked into Scintilla/SciTE? I think it gets used often for this sort of thing. It's very lightweight, but from what I understand, is easy to add functionality to. It's not really an IDE, but it's more of a text-editor component that you could use as the basis for a simple IDE. I've used SciTE, which is a sort of demo text editor of Scintilla's capabilities. It's simple, but also quite fast and responsive.
I suppose another option would be to write plugins for existing IDEs such as Eclipse or Netbeans. Both of these IDEs support many languages just through 3rd-party plugins. Going this route means you don't need to build a complete UI, just the components needed to make your language work.
The downside of building plugins for an extendable IDE (such as NetBeans or Eclipse) is that you are at the mercy of the IDE developers. If they change the way the platform works, you must ensure that your plugins still work with the new versions. Sometimes this can become a major problem.
All of these options should work on Linux as well as Windows.
This sounds like a very ambitious project and I wish you luck.
I don't use linux too often, I use a Mac and my favorite text editor is called TextMate because it has snippets, code completion, and a whole mess of other features. The closest thing to it that I've found on linux is called Scribes.
There's always Emacs or Vim (I lean towards Vim, but that's just my opinion :) ). Neither are IDEs per se, but both are very extensible and it shouldn't be too hard to create settings for each that will aid people writing scripts in your language.
How would I go about writing my own Intelli-J inspection? I'm looking for some general guides or resources.
I want to bring up an inspection hint every time a collection class is instantiated manually, rather than through the Guava (List.newArrayList()/Maps.newHashMap()) etc. as per a team-wide standard.
I'd appreciate any direction.
For such an inspection you don't need to write a plug-in, instead use the Structural Search and Replace (SSR) feature which allows to create custom inspections with quick fixes.
See also the Creating your own inspections section and documentation for this feature.
Note that it's available in the Ultimate version only.
I'll have to disappoint you but there are no written guidelines nor resources nor documentation for almost everything related to plug-ins and IntelliJ :(.
(this is the main reason many IntelliJ fans haven't worked on plug-ins for their favorite tool).
That company makes fantastic products, but when it comes to documentation, books, and guidelines for developers (not users) - well, they're practically non-existing :(.
Your only bet is to take a look the source of actual IntelliJ plug-ins (some of them are here: http://git.jetbrains.org/) and ask very concrete questions on the IntelliJ plug-in list since the development team will gladly answer you usually in a matter of minutes.
Late to the game, but this question still comes up high on a google search, so see:
