Hi all,IMHO, implementing "Method-Invocation-Chaining" by simply returning "this" from regarding methods in Java-API was bad idea, because it doesn't really work, if a class is subclassed. For example see XxxBuffer classes, subclassed from java.nio.Buffer.
So I think, it's time for a simple enhancement in Java syntax, and get rid of those "return this"-methods:
