Code review plugin

[Martin Terra <ma...@koodaripalvelut.com>]

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.

Thanks, yes, a standard for code-review-feedback that works in all
IDEs would be very nice 😄

I'm looking for something more like this: https://agilereview.org/

I added feature request:
https://github.com/AgileReview-Project/AgileReview-EclipsePlugin/issues/6

   - store review comments within the same project & repository as the code
   itself
   - commit the comments into the same project & repository as the code
   itself
   - ability to compare changes in comments overall or within comments,
   between code/comment commit versions (similar to code compare changes where
   you would see the changed files, changed comments within, changes/additions
   to comments in compare changes style)
   - abiliy to add/edit comments in both code comparison mode and normal
   coding mode to better support the code review process
   - think user experience similar to "Add comment" feature in Google Docs

Feel free to upvote if there is such possibility 😉

They already have some plugins so in theory this could be evolved into an
universal standard: https://github.com/AgileReview-Project

Are you looking for something like this?

As far as I know, there is no universal standard for code-review-feedback
that works in all IDEs, that would be very nice :)
