stable EAP builds in near future. We have to do a lot before we begin

critical
problem will most likely be fixed within a day or two. After all, we are
going to open public builds because YOU asked for it :)"

Thanks

I just want to thank dmitrinesteruk for providing a lot of feedback on Agent Johnson.

I am still amazed that people actually test or use Agent Johnson!

Resharper 4.1 and 4.5

Ilya on Resharper 4.1 and 4.5:

"4.1 receives only critical hotfixes, mostly when VS crashes or otherwise completely fails to work. We are actively working on 4.5 and going to open EAP pretty soon. Stay tuned."

StyleCop for Resharper

The new version of the StyleCop for Resharper is a real treat. It fixes two of my main gripes with the previous plugin - you can now set inspection severity for each violation and it includes fixes for some of the common violations.

Resharper 4.1. PowerToys

Good news.

The PowerToys for Resharper 4.1 has been released.

The PowerToys plugins are installed in C:\Program Files\JetBrains\ReSharper\v4.1\Bin\Plugins\ and the source in C:\Program Files\JetBrains\ReSharper\v4.1\vs9.0\PowerToys\.

Dead forums

Wow - the Resharper forums are as dead as I have ever seen them.

One of my co-workers went to the PDC and talked to JetBrains at their booth, but I don't know what they talked about unfortunately.

Clone Detective

Clone Detective is a plugin for Visual Studio - not Resharper - that searches for duplicate source code in a solution.

From the website:
"Clone Detective is a Visual Studio integration that allows you to analyze C# projects for source code that is duplicated somewhere else. Having duplicates can easily lead to inconsistencies and often is an indicator for poorly factored code."

It is pretty similar to an idea I had for Agent Johnson, but this one actually works. I played around with it, and while I had some difficult getting it to find my files, it seems to find work.
