| | 7 | = Analysis = |
| | 8 | == Overview == |
| | 9 | Some new features of the PRO_LIB_INSPECTOR should be added in order to make it more useful. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | == Task requirements == |
| | 12 | The following new features of the Inspector should be implemented: |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | * '''String representation view''' - there should be a trigger to view certain objects in their toString() representation instead of a tree-like structure. This would help debugging by viewing complex classes and list-like objects in a simple and human readable String form. |
| | 15 | * '''Static methods filter view''' - there should be a trigger which filters out all static methods from the tree-like representation of the inspected objects. This would help debugging of objects which are instances of classes with a huge amount of static fields (like some Swing components, for example). |
| | 16 | * '''Multiple Inspector instances''' - not only one but a multitude of Inspector instances should be available to the user. |
| | 17 | * the user should be able to easily create a new instance of the Inspector (by cloning the existing one, for example), |
| | 18 | * each Inspector instance should have its own root element. This means that the user should have an option to select a certain object as a root of each Inspector instance instead of having a hardcoded one as a default. |
| | 19 | * the user should be able to easily change the root of a given Inspector instance by: |
| | 20 | * selecting the parent of the current root to be the new root, if such is available, |
| | 21 | * selecting a given object in the tree-like representation of the current root and making it the new root, |
| | 22 | * specifying a custom object as a root of the new Inspector instance. Doing so might be tricky so a clever way of handling this should be devised, if possible. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | == Task result == |
| | 25 | * code modifications in the core.prolib.inspector module, |
| | 26 | * ideas for other useful features in the comments section, if any |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | == Implementation idea == |
| | 29 | * use reflection to filter out static methods |

| | 34 | |
| | 35 | == How to demo == |
| | 36 | * Run Sophie 2.0, |
| | 37 | * Turn on and off String representation view, |
| | 38 | * Turn on and off Static methods filter view, |
| | 39 | * Create a new Inspector instance and change its root |
