Sorry for being bit off topic here, but I'm looking for a software tool or plugin suitable for Java programming that allows developers to insert/manage review comments directly from within their IDE, similar to the "Add comment" feature in Google Docs.
I belive it would benefit the Wicket Community as well, if such tool could be integrated with the code repository. Do you have experience of such tool? In my understanding, for example github review comments cannot be collaborated with directly from within the IDE, or is there a plugin for that? Furthermore, preferably it would work directly with native git without requiring the use of the github platform. This functionality would be valuable for code review discussion which is often closely tied to specific sections of the code, making it easier for others to understand the context, intent, and purpose of the comments relative to the code context. It would be particularly beneficial if this tool could also be used in the ”compare different versions” mode of the IDE which is typically used when reviewing code, enabling reviewers to provide feedback on specific changes made between versions. Additionally, it would be advantageous if these review comments could be stored in the code repository in a manner that allows viewers to see a comprehensive view of comments from all reviewers. This unified view, similar to the commenting feature in Google Docs, would provide a better understanding of the feedback and suggestions offered by multiple reviewers, ensuring that all perspectives are considered and facilitating effective communication and collaboration among team members. By integrating review comments directly within the code, the code review process would be significantly enhanced. It would reduce friction in the process of giving, understanding, tracking, and managing comments, resulting in improved collaboration on the project. Other future benefits could be in training AI models based on history of commits and reviews. ** Martin
