Is there a way in IntelliJ Idea to force this. to be automatically placed into code on a format or save or at the very least show an error if it should be in there?
From the main menu, select Tools | Generate JavaDoc. In the dialog that opens, select a scope — a set of files or directories for which you want to generate the reference, and set the output directory where the generated documentation will be placed.
Click edit configurations on the dropdown box for your runtime configurations. Select the runtime you want to add environment variables to. Click environment variables folder icon to pull up the environment variables screen. From here you can add as many environment variables as you want.
By default, IntelliJ IDEA shows all classes, methods, and other elements of the current file. To toggle the elements you want to show, click the corresponding buttons on the Structure tool window toolbar.
You can turn on the following inspections:
That will highlight any missing 'this.' declarations. With your cursor on the highlight, Alt+Enter will bring up the quick fix to add 'this". If on that initial pop-up you arrow to the right, You can select the "Fix All "Instance Method call not qualified with 'this'" problems" option to fix all issues in the current file. (you'll need to do this for both methods and fields)
If you run the inspection on the project - either by the Analyze > Inspect Code... or by the Analyze > Run Inspection by Name... option you can then apply the fix to all files in the project (or module or package, etc.)
There is no way to get the quick fix to occur on a reformat.
You can add the 'this.' qualifier to fields by using the 'Save Actions' Plugin (which I also recommend to use for other reasons). Just install it via Settings > Plugins > Browse repositories and be sure to check the quick fix 'Qualify field access with this' later.
