ADT feature requests after 2 years of use in project

[Timo_John]

Hello Everyone & Hello #ADTTeam,

today alexander.geppart and me would like to contribute to the wishes of 319481ee5c07417784f1f1ae49b6371f from his blog post and c436ae948d684935a91fce8b976e5aa7: My Wishes for SAP in 2018.

We come up with some combined feature request to improve working with #ADT in real live conditions. We have used #ADT it in our current project in a team of +10 developers for more than three years now .

 

These are our requested features / Enhancements:

Display not used privat methods with warning in Eclipse

Display not used private variables as warning in Eclipse

The Feature to scan for "obsolete variables and methods" could be offered as a checkbox option in ADT settings like "Run not used Check after each code activation"

 

Code completion / suggestions for build in functions like line_exists to support usage of them

For build in functions the code completion does not work after "concat"

Shareable logpoints

Import / export the dynamic #ADT logpoints to place them in #charm tickets for re-occurring issues and transport into other systems.

alphabetic sorting of of methods during transport should not be done.

Methods should be sorted as developer designed it. In current situation code compare between dev and test system is nearly useless link

create multiple import parameter of a method via quick fix (blog)

Run ATC checks on last used Transport when #eclipse is idle for some time

For DDL sources add the possibility to open the data preview in other project.

We are developing in client 100 but all the data is in client 300 so I need to have the data preview in client 300.

Release information for new #ADT Plugins in terms of what is new etc.

This can be found via: HELP -> HELP CONTENTS   -> SAP - ABAP Development User Guide
