IDE helper plugin support
One thing that would make Intent IDE very useful is to load custom plugins into the actual front-end (not Software factory process) to be able to perform scripted actions that can either enforce a certain convention or perform actions that are convenient.
For instance, if one wanted to enforce a convention on the IDE so that a Service Operation has a Request and Response type convention, having a plugin that can create that would be useful. An example would be:
I create a Service Operation: CreateProduct
I execute a custom written plugin called RequestResponseConventionPlugin
It will see that the CreateProduct operation doesn't have any parameters or return type, so it takes the name CreateProduct and creates a CreateProductRequest DTO and CreateProductResponse DTO.
It then assigns the newly created request type to the CreateProduct parameter and the newly created response type to the CreateProduct return type.
