[Springframework-developer] IDEA integration features

[Alef A. <ale...@in...>]

Hi all,

I'm currently investigating what kind of features we'd like to have in 
IDEA when it comes to integration with Spring.

I've got the following on the list so far and I'd really like your 
input. So if you have any ideas about what kind of features IDEA could 
offer that will help you develop your Spring application, I'd really 
like to hear them!

- An “add bean to applicationcontext option” that would work like the 
generate getter and setter dialog, pick one of the applicationcontexts 
(automatically detected by dtd ? ) and select the properties you want to 
have property elements generated for
- Be able to click on a ref=”” attribute and automatically jump to that 
bean in the applicationcontext defined
- Validation for bean properties eg : non existing refs, using a value 
instead of ref, something set on a property that cannot be handled by 
the associated property editor
- Bean generation (xml -> java and backwards) !

thanks!
