Here is an overview of the most significant changes in the context of ABAP core development that relate to the current ABAP Development Tools for the SAP NetWeaver (ADT) client and the SAP NetWeaver 7.5 SP04 back end.
Navigating Within the Element Information of Development Objects*
You can now navigate from the Element Information Popup of a usage to the Element Information Popup of another usage by clicking its name. Note that the same functionality is also provided for the ABAP Element Info view.
For more information, look here Displaying Details in the Element Information Popup and the ABAP Element Info View
Overriding Methods from Superclasses*
You can generate the code snippet for the method redefinition and its implementation block in one step. To do this, position the cursor between the CLASS implementation and the ENDCLASS statement. Then trigger the code completion. As a result, a list with all methods that can be overridden is displayed. From here you can choose the relevant method.
The supercall is not added by default. You will have to add it to the method implementation block manually.

Adding ABAP Doc Comments for Methods Using The Quick Assist
In the definition of an ABAP class, you can document a method. When using the <p class="shorttext synchronized"> tag, the short texts between the form-based Class Builder in the backend and the ADT source code editor are synchronized automatically.
In the definition of an ABAP class, you can now document a method by using the Add ABAP Doc quick assist. The <p class="shorttext synchronized"> tag is then added in an ABAP Doc comment block. When activating, the short texts will be synchronized with the back end.
