Testdox works in IDEA 8!

Huray!

My favourite plugin for IntelliJ IDEA TestDox finally works in EAP of version 8. So I can see nicely formatted test outline again. If I needed to wait longer I would be afraid that I could stop using pattern testShould... that I like so much :-)

For those who are not familiar with this approach it as as follows. Tests should describe what tested class should do. So it helps if test methods are named accordingly - describing expected behaviour. The best naming convention is testShouldDoSomething which should read as a sentence in English (of course name of tested class, or tested class in some context, makes begining of the sentence).

So for example let's have FullStackTest (specification) with method testShouldThrowExceptionAfterPush. This is time when TestDox cames into picture - it is able to convert it to Full stack should throw exception after push. Which feels really like specification of behaviour. And that's whole point. It seems subtle, but it works miracles. This plugin helps me to create good test names. It is even more important when I have lazy mood, because it motivates me to do so.

Its biggest disadvantage is that my Eclipse-based colleagues do not have anything like this (I tried to find it several times without any success, so if you know about something similar, tell me please).

Note: I have tried to update it to new IntelliJ IDEA API myself, but it was changed a lot and without any previous knowledge of IntelliJ plugin development and without complete list of changes I failed.
