Curiosity: How IDE features affects design quality
Don’t believe that? Than listen to the story…
Occupational i deal with people who works with already aged version WSAD (Rational Application Developer for Web Sphere). I think they use version 5 which is based on eclipse platform in version 2.0 or 2.1 where folding was not supported.
Folding feature of eclipse based IDE’s allows you to clap uninteresting code fragments like methods constructors or imports out from your scope just in place.
So one of developers was just dropping all of his classes in just one package, doing it in apposite to the structure of whole project. He argued that doing so, hi has only one import statement in his classes for all classes from his “containing all” package. Having 15-20 import statements in a class disturbs!
God bless folding feature! Curtain!
