Hi Doru and all,

Great work. All these tools are really moving the development experience a step forward :)
I will try it ASAP.
At this time, I just wonder if it is possible to search text in method sources. It is often useful.
Another related thing I don't know how to do, is to refactor a set of methods (could be some methods to 20 or more). In these methods, I send a specific message. Now, I just want to remove the message implementation (it is not a rename) and I have to update the code accordingly. Sometimes, I could do that by just a search/replace (text) functionality (would be cool to use patterns there) in methods source code but I cannot find a way do that for now. So I do it by hand.
I wonder if it already exists a way to do that or if GTSpotter could address this issue.

Christophe.

Hi,

Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous Toolkit: 
GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects.

GTSpotter has two goals:
- Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and
- Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting.

We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo.

Here is a couple of screenshots:

It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from:

Please let us know what you think.

Enjoy,
