Can't wait for attributes? Need them now? Check out QDox Attributes! http://cvs.codehaus.org/viewcvs.cgi/qdox-attributes/?root=qdox

Piotr JFDI'ed the long-awaited thing. An easy to use and powerful attributes package for the Java platofrm.

It draws the best from Ara's XRAI, Mark's Attrib4J, Jon's Nanning and Jakarta's Commons-Attributes. All of which failed to deliver a usable product, but (tribute) all contributed to Piotr's new brainchild via their ideas and code.

And if you don't care about attributes - just read the code and doco. It's nice. Very nice. The package scope is even com.thoughtworks even if Piotr is not a Thoughtworker.

This begs for an interview :-)

I'm writing an IDEA plugin. Ignorant of any other way to test it (yes, I have JUnit) than closing IDEA, reinstalling the plugin, reopening. Then HumanTesting.

IntelliBrains: Can you write an IdeaMock for us? So we can mock IDEA in IDEA? Or is there a way to launch IDEA from IDEA?

Puleeese!
