Sneak peek: Smart Focus

The next release of nWire is already in beta and, as you all know, its' main focus is PHP. However, we will have some important enhancements for our loyal Java customers as well. The most noticeable would be the Smart Focus.

The Smart Focus aims at assisting in finding information fast by minimizing the information which is presented in the first navigator column. Today, this column shows an outline of the current resource. Since most of us already use the Eclipse Outline View, this seems redundant. The Smart Focus shows only the most relevant items at the given spot. So, for example, if the cursor is located over a method invocation, you will immediately see the invocation in the first column and all the invocation associations in the second column.

We want to hear what you think, so visit our forum and let us know. The following image illustrates the new feature.
