On Travis's blog I was asked to list the contents of my Development Utilities bundle. I've done this one before on the vwnc mailing list. But it'll survive longer if I do it here. So here goes:

  • UIPainter
  • ProgrammingExtensions
  • Method-History: Records changes to methods for their position in the .cha file, very good for finding changes before you've published
  • AutoComplete: Hit tab to autocomplete namespaces, classes, methods
  • ExtraEmphasis: Used by some other utilities
  • MouseWheelX11: essential for Linux work
  • FileProgress
  • RBSUnitExtensions: essential for doing unit testing
  • RBRegexExtensions: comes in handy
  • RBStoreExtensions
  • SmaCC Runtime: used by other utilities
  • RBBytecodeTool: great for showing off to friends
  • ThreePaneSelectorsBrowser: can't live without it
  • RBCodeHighlighting
  • HyperRBCodeHighlighting: can't live without it, makes the code pane come alive
  • Arbor Hypertext: used by other utilities
  • All Advanced Tools: profilers are in here
  • ImageCompression: for packaging
  • ThrottledCursor
  • NewPrerequisiteEngine
  • DMTrippyEnhancements: adds an XML inspector in to Trippy
  • ExtraIcons: these are great for suniting
  • StackOverflow: good to catch runaway processes
  • NextVersionPundlePublishing: hack to help us get around store version naming
  • File Repository: use Store like cvs
  • LearningMenus: limited only to the RB, useful until Vassili updates the menu order (coming in 7.3)
  • SpsMergeToolMods: make the store merger slightly easier to use
  • AddInstVarAtCompileTime
  • ProportionalTabs: the way the tabs shoulda been
  • RBDiffs
  • RB_Tabs
  • BuffersAreBack

There we have it. Comment on what you'd add and why or what you'd remove and why. Also, should this kind of bundle be published to public store? or is that too pretencious?
