Currently a single inspection can only be selected in a drop down list which provides much less visibility than a scrollable list (in a tradeoff with the window size - in small windows the drop down list has a slight advantage). The transformation in a list would allow advanced features, like sorting by name and category as well as a filter to narrow the set of list items for inspection based on name queries. It is currently very hard to get an overview of the tasks the feature is just so well implemented in NetBeans and push code quality so easily that it'd be a pity to not make it usable as easy as possible.
Did you use 'Browse' button next to Single inspection drop down list?
> Did you use 'Browse' button next to Single inspection drop down list? It looks like there's on option to choose the task which provides a useful overview, but requires clicking the `Browse` button and viewing everything in a separate dialog and one which doesn't provide an overview in drop down list. Combine the two is my suggestion to provide an easy to use component which provides good overview.
Interesting, but would add clutter to the UI. It's better to have the concepts well documented than clutter the IDE with cross-references.
Doh ! Again different issue tab. Sorry.
Reviewed; sorry, the Inspect & Transform initial dialog should remain as simple as possible. Running a single hint is a shortcut to avoid creation of a profile with just a single hint to satisfy the IDE mechanics. Browse is adequate given that subsequent invocations should remember the last choice.
