[Bluej-discuss] Some Features I'd Like to See in BlueJ

[Lon Levy]

Hello Chris and the BlueJ team,

I like the sounds of #1 and #3.  However, I would rather not see #2.  If there are standard parameters, it would be best to set up a small class to handle that for you.  The existance of static methods is not Object Oriented anyway.  Further emphasis on the non-OOPs aspects of Java doesn't make sense to me.

As always, thank you, Michael and team, for continuing with this great tool for my students.

Regards,

Lon.

I have a few features that I'd like to see added to BlueJ:

1. Would it be possible to add a feature to BlueJ so that every file in 
the project that needs to be compiled is automatically compiled. This 
includes files in packages. At the moment, it seems that if I use 
"Compile", files in packages below the current level aren't recompiled, 
only the current "level" is. This also applies to "Rebuild Package"--is 
that right? What I'm thinking of is something like "Compile All".

2. Could we please have a single keyboard control for running the main 
method. The user could be given an option to set command line parameters 
in a dialog somewhere (in Preferences?"). These parameters would be 
persistent and used each time main was run, without asking.

3. Could we have persistent Terminal settings. I'm often forgetting to 
set "Clear Screen at Method Call" and "Unlimited Buffering" options.

If any of these things are currently possible I apologise in advance.

Cheers,

Chris
