The OE 11.4 release is out. I installed it because I was particularly interested in developer productivity enhancements for PDSOE like the promise of "Refactoring and Source Code Analysis tools to streamline code development".
Is there any material out there on this topic yet? I don't even know how to find the new features in Eclipse, let alone use them.
Google searches don't pick up anything (other than the Progress marketing for OE 11.4).
+1 to this!
I even ventured into the "What's new" page shown on first startup in Pdsoe, but unfortunately I'm directed to a page that says 'topic not found'.
A good place to start is the New and Revised Features list. You can locate that on Communities from the OpenEdge 11.4 Documentation Page.
Thanks Rob, but I'm not seeing any reference to source code analysis, or refactoring on this page.

Unless you're counting the shuffling of USING statements as refactoring - which seems a pretty 'slimline' set of refactoring features.
#1 - yes, "less is more" in this case ;)
#2 - there are some "analysis tools" for finding where tables, fields, variables, Interfaces etc are used. right-click on a file, choose "references". Do the same in the editor for other stuff like variables etc
#3 - that's all folks ;) **

Julian, do you happen to know if they've made the Open Declaration (F3) function work properly in 11.4?
It's meant to open up the declaration of the highlighted object/method/proc/var.
In practice, (in 11.1->3,) it opens up the declaration of *something* which may or may not be the highlighted thing.
yeah, works for me
