Feature request: Add separate objects (e.g. programs, classes...) to favorite package

Former Member — Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:38:03 GMT

Hello all,

I want to start a discussion about the possibility to add separate objects to the list of favorite packages in Eclipse.

Right now it is possible to add favorite packages to the list and this is very handy, you can access all your coding more easily. However, it happens to me lot of times, that I have only a few programs in a bigger package and the other programs do not interest me.

It would be great if it would be possible to add any object to this "favorite" node. I could be called "favorite objects" and you could be able to add separate programs or classes or webdynpro components. (In SE80 it is similar, you can insert any program or function group or package to the favorite menu).

How would you like it?

Is it possible to implement?

Have a nice day!

Hi Ondrej,

this feature is already available in Eclipse. The view you need is called Bookmarks view.

You can define bookmarks on code lines of all source code objects supported by ABAP in Eclipse.

Check the following blog for more details:

http://scn.sap.com/community/abap/eclipse/blog/2013/01/25/how-to-use-bookmarks-in-abap-in-eclipse

Currently we are working on an extension of the feature so that all objects are supported by the bookmarks view, e.g. WebDynpro views and controlers.

Kind Regards,

Thomas.

Hello Thomas,

thank you for your response. Even thought it is not directly my requested feature, it still helps and I find it very handy.

Thanx again,

have a nice day!

Ondrej

Hi Ondrej,

what we can try is to reuse the infrastructure from the backend and display the Favorites from SE80 also in the eclipse project explorer. Would this be helpful?

Regards,

Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

yes, I think this would be great! Would it be an extra node in the project tree? That would be really cool!

Looking forward to it!
