My (rejected) proposal to Scala Days 2013. Maybe next year :)

semantic-search-talk

As your code-base increases in size and you get more comfortable with 
advanced Scala features you slowly reach a point where grep simply isn’t 
sufficient to search through your projects; This has lead to the development 
of Semantic Search, a plugin for Scala IDE for Eclipse that simplifies 
code navigation, understanding, and refactoring. 

In this talk Mads will show his work on Semantic Search with a live demo 
of some of the features, including:

  • Finding all occurrence of any Scala entity, even implicits.
  • Creating a call-hierarchy of a method
  • Expressing more advanced queries 

Additionally, the talk will show the design of the plugin and how the Scala
Presentation Compiler is used to build an index of the code-base, including
what caveats to consider when using the Scala Presentation Compiler.

Hey, we need such tools. A rejected proposal is nothing. Just do the work :)

@loverdos Thanks! :) I'm working on the tool as part of my masters thesis together with the Scala IDE for Eclipse team so you'll get the tool sooner rather than later :)

It's great that you just agreed to port this to ENSIME!

Thanks so much! :)
