In fact, this is part of the bigger "project templates/w$z$rd" request.

This is quite frustrating to have to build each new project from scratch.
I won't pronounce the forbidden word "W*ZARD", but there is a place for something new 
here.
Without going as far as JBuilder - though I wouldn't oppose to it -, IDEA could be 
smarter when it comes to project creation.

Why does it offer to create 'src', but not 'classes', or 'javadoc'.
I would also add 'data' and 'test'.
I have created a zipped skeleton for Tomcat based projects, that I unzip on the IDEA 
created structure when I need it.
Based on your type of project (EJB, applet, standalone), you would use the same trick 
with another base.


We cross a lot of fine-tuning/polishing type of requests in this list, and I have 
posted my share of it.
But I feel we should also talk about bigger changes.

For example, I made 2 - unsuccessful - attempts to suggest some form of code analysis, 
or "code smell" detector.
When do you refactor? When you detected a "code smell" (duplicate, poorly named 
member, classes with 150 methods...)
BTW, Oracle JDeveloper, and XPtools (will) offer it.
I feel this is the time now to start introducing this kind of functionalities.

Is nobody interested in higher level improvements?
Is this list doomed to be the 
       "Ctrl-Alt-Tab-Space" should sort the list in alphabetical order, and not ..
request list?
