Feed Description: Smalltalk and my misinterpretations of life
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?
