# SmallSense

*Developer's productivity plugin for Smalltalk/X IDE.*

## About 

**SmallSense** is a set of tools that speed up development and make
Smalltalk programming even more fun. Features:

* **Code-completion** -- a fast code completion system for Smalltalk using both static and runtime type inference. 
* **Syntax-driven editing** -- a nice little feature that helps you with editing and formatting the code, all syntax- and formate-preferences aware! 
* **Instant static analysis** -- to detect & fix common errors and code smells as you type

There are many more features already on the TODO list :-) Besides, *SmallSense*
provides a common infrastructure to implement support for other languages as well.

## Installation

Just download and compile the package. Then, load the package into running Smalltalk/X IDE: 

    Smalltalk loadPackage:`jv:smallsense`

*Note*: In Smalltalk/X jv-branch, SmallSense is already included so no need to 
download and load.
