The point is this:
1. I've made a lot of changes in my workspace. 2. I want to check in a small subset of those changes, but certainly not all of them. 3. There are many dependancies between the changed files. 4. The quickest way to figure out which files I _need_ to check in (at the moment) would be to check in the ones I really want to check in, then check them out in someone elses workspace and see what's missing when you try to compile. This is (a) messy and (b) potentially disaterous, as you may ultimately discover that there is an Nth-level deep dependancy to the classes that you really didn't want to check in. I want IDEA to tell me that if I check in a modified class or classes, what other (modified) classes I will have to check in in order to make the repository compile. Thinking about it a bit, it could probably be implemented pretty easily by using the Find Usages code iteratively through all modified files. >From: "Michael Kirby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Organization: Xerox Corporation >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 06:36:51 -0500 >Subject: Re: [Eap-features] Inspect Change dependancies >Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >What would I use the information for? > >Mike > > >On 19 Mar 2002 at 13:20, Graham Lea wrote: > >> It'd be really time-saving if there was some sort of inspection >> utility where you could select a group of classes that have been >> modified (according to CVS or MSS integration) and ask the question >> "Do the modifications in these files rely on modifications made in any >> other files in the project?" >> >> Example: >> 1.
