Publisher review:Changes Bar - Enhancement to Changes UI in IDEA, including Status bar based UI for Changes Enhancement to Changes UI in IDEA, including Status bar based UI for ChangesThis plugin has two main functions. Firstly it improves the interaction with Changelists, bringing some of the Changelist UI up to the main frame level by adding a status bar section for Changelist management. Here the currently selected default Changelist can be both seen and selected by a popup list, and a new Changelist may also be created. This helps the user to know exactly which Changelist they are working in at a glance, and thus avoid making modifications to files outside of the appropriate Changelist. Also the plugin (optionally) adds support for editing the comment of the Changelist which is selected in the Changes toolwindow.The other function of the plugin is to help manage Changelist 'collisions'. These occur when a file is modified first when one Changelist is selected and then is subsequently modified when another Changelist is selected. This can often happen when wide ranging edits are done, such as name or signature refactoring.Changes Bar helps in collision situations by moving files which have been involved in a collision into a new autogenerated Changelist. This means that upon checkin, there is a record of collisions, and these can be dealt with appropriately.The Changes Bar also alerts the user whenever a collision occurs by displaying a warning icon in the status bar, and (optionally) showing a popup. Once clicked this will clear the warning and open the Changes toolwindow for perusal of the detected problem.Options can be modified in the Changes Bar section of the IDE Options area.
