Hi,
I have a request / suggestion (as if IDEA wasn't good enough already!):
When doing 'extract method' it would be great if the IDE could tell me
where that code block existed in the whole of my source tree, not just the
current class. Or if that's too complex, a search tool that could show me
where all duplicate lines / code chunks were. Quite often I find the same
'helper' methods in multiple classes, and it would be great if there was a
tool to help me look, so the duplication can be factored out into the
correct place. As an example, we have a reasonable amount of legacy code
that often returns nulls when it should probably return empty strings. As
a result, I have the following code in several places:
private String emptyIfNull (String input) {
if (input == null) return "";
return input;
}
It would be great if there was a 'Find Duplication in Source' tool that
would find all instances of this and all other duplications.
Regards,
-Darren
