static methods in abstract classes

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 01:21:51 -0000

First off, this is an outstanding plugin - I've not seen anything like it until now.

However, it seems that calls to static methods in abstract classes are not detected.

This has a significant negative impact on the understanding of a system when dependencies on these methods is invisible, and one needs to dig into the actual lines of code.

SVG support

Hi, it would be nice (memory footprint, scaling) to have SVG support for node overlay icons.

Add documentation for XMI and XML formats

Chris Callendar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 23:50:59 -0000

Add some documentation on the expected formats for XMI and XML files in Shrimp.

Users have no idea of what the expected elements are for these formats.

Add Filter Dialog

Chris Callendar — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 23:30:34 -0000

Add a dialog which displays all the filters currently in place. It would also let the user remove any of the filters too.

Filter individual arcs

Chris Callendar — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:16:26 -0000

There is a filter arcs by type option, but you can't filter a single arc.

Add menu shortcut keys

Chris Callendar — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:15:32 -0000

Add menu shortcuts (e.g. Alt-F for File etc)

Add "Filter All Descendants" option

Chris Callendar — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 21:37:45 -0000

Allow the user to filter all descendents instead of
just filtering a single node.

MacOSX support

MysterMask — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 11:00:27 -0000

I really like the ability to visually inspect code the
way Creole provides it. MacOSX support would be greatly
appreciated.

Since the infamous awt_swt bridge bug in Eclipse
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67384)
seems to be fixed now and Java 1.5 for OSX is out, it
should now be possible to use Creole on MacOSX.

I just tryied it out with Eclipse 3.2RC7 / Creole 1.3.1
/ Java 1.5.0_06-112 with swt compatiblity fix on MacOSX
10.4.6.

Using the Creole Aspect, I got a message in the Creole
main view (see attached screenshot) and sometimes a
Creole window opens in the background but without any
content.

BTW: I can run SHriMP as standalone app (though with
sub-par integration into MacOSX, see
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2002/09/06/osx_java.html
for some tipps)

Sort by Num Of Relationships should ignore invisible arcs

Chris Callendar — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 17:31:39 -0000

When you sort the instances of a given class with the
button ”By Num Of Relationship”, the sorting algorithm
always takes account ALL the relationships, even the
invisible relationships (which are de-selected in the
arc filter panel).

show only arcs inside a node

Rob Lintern — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 22:54:19 -0000

It would be nice to be able to choose to see arcs when
nesting in the following ways:

1) Show only the arcs that go between the children (or
descendents) of a particular node, A.

2) Show only the arcs that go from the children (or
descendents) of a node, A, to other nodes outside node A.

3) Show only the arcs that go from a particular node, A, to
other nodes and hide arcs going to/from the descendents
of node A.

4) Show only the arcs that go from other nodes to a
particular node, A, and hide arcs going to/from the
descendents of node A
