What this plug-in does:

Known bugs:

• Sometimes "Delete task" do not delete .task file. You can do taht manually
• Do not removes unused methods that are cyclically called
• Never removes method that implements interface/overriding super method if class is retained and super class is retained
• Never removes main method no matter what signature it has
• Do not supports static imports

Use it at your own risk

Plug-in is supplied with project that has structure needed for this plug-in. It also contains 3 sample tasks - 2 plain and 1 TopCoder style

How to use:

1. Add plug-in buttons on main toolbar (Customize Menus and Toolbars -> Main Toolbar -> Add after... -> Plug-ins -> Contest helper)
   
2. Press "New Task".
   
3. New class will be created where you must implement solve interface. Arguments for this interface are test case index (1 based), InputReader and PrintWriter. You may extend capabilities of InputReader by editing corresponding class in utils module
4. "Edit test" allows you to add and edit tests for current task
5. When you want to run or debug code on your tests push "Run Task" button. After it finish it work you may run one of predifined configurations (Run - for running created file from module test and Debug - for debugging in module main/lib. Same with Tester runs/debugs on tests you enetered)
6. You need to do "Run Task" every time you entered new test/before submitting to server (it is advised to do it after each change to avoid forgetting doing it before submitting)
7. You need to submit file "Main.java" from module test to server

For TopCoder you need to have some plug-in that creares code locally (e. g. moj) and set target dirrectory for FileEditor to root of module topcoder. Remember to push "Run task: before compiling in arena

Your library classes must be in module library in non-default package.
