Just an fyi: While it may be legit to use "final" for performance reasons when writing for Java Micro Edition or the like, it's essentially ignored by modern JITs (like Hotspot). Good runtime compilers keep a constant graph of the loaded classes in memory and can determine at runtime if it can treat a method call as "final" or "static" or not. So the use of "final" and "static" (or big methods rather than lots of small ones) as a means of optimization is obsolete. There are valid software engineering reasons for their use, but it's not performance.
That said, it would be a handy feature, though I can't see justifying more than 10 minutes of IDEAs time to implement it... +0 -Jim Moore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Wangjammer5 Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 2:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Eap-features] req: "final" option for Insert Getter/Setter Hi, I can't seem to find this so assume it's not there - no option for making CTRL+I inserted getters/setters have the "final" modifier. Almost always are final in much of my code... it's boring going and editing it in manually afterwards. This is important for performance oriented code...
