Actually, the annoying part is the fact that it goes out to lunch so long while
garbage collecting. This is directly related to the excessive use of temporary
objects. I would rather have time spent on that, then on fixing a problem caused
by another problem.

This would be real nice..

This would be nice as well.

Yup

This has been discussed, and we talked about having a "most restrictive access"
refactoring. It would take methods and make them as private and final as they
could given the current code. Ithink this is a good idea.

I'd like a reformatting to take brackets out for single line if statements.

Give me a way to hide specific files in a project list.

I use the uppercase/lowercase convention. Is that not sufficient? I know it isn't
tool enforced (perhaps it could be). I would rather have color formatting for static
versus local versus member variables.

By convention (unless you are a vi user), it should mean cancel the open dialog.
Of all these, the only one I have a burning desire to see fixed is the garbage
collection / excessive use of temporary objects problem.
