But they do follow conventions that are understood by Java IDEs. The dummy implementation of an interface for example is always called <interface name>Adapter and can be auto-generated. All byte streams end in ...Stream and similar. This makes it easy to have mnemonics handy: "I'm looking for an input, buffered, stream". So you type IBS, auto-complete and the IDE expands that to InputBufferStream and takes care of the necessary import. Some languages are developed with IDE support in mind, but are then limited in expressiveness and not editor friendly. -- Marco
