recompile a class via menu item in Pharo 2?

In earlier versions of Pharo you could choose a refactoring scope and
then recompile everything in that scope by choosing the 'recompile' menu
item .  Is there a way to do the same thing in Pharo 2?

Thanks

Hi Paul

what was doing the recompile? Why was it needed?
Now we can scope refactoring but I do not know about the recompile all since I do not know it was there and useful.

Hi Stef,

I would recompile a class or "class with subclasses" hierarchy manually
with the Transcript open after removing an inst var definition from a
class to see if I left any references to the inst var.  The 'recompile'
 menu option only appeared once you had limited the refactoring scope in
some way.

Thanks

Paul

I see what you mean and this frustrates me since years.
I'm working (I should do another pass) on a minimal logging framework that the
the compiler should be able to use and that the user gets presented with a list of log objects
such as this references to unknown variables. In fact I started a object logging framework just because
of this poor approach.
I hate transcript and strings just for this unstructured and stupid behavior (you have to open
the transcript before else …. :)

Stef so I will kick myself and restart to work on it.
