Thomas,
 
Let's say there is a problem in the code below, and you suspect it's because somewhere you are mis-using one string for another.
Please, tell me which way in the most helpfull in locating the problem.
 
(Just imagine you are debugging a 60 line method that you didn't write, that looks like..)
 
 
 

1 color for all

---------------

 

   String  before = ...

   String  after  = ...

 

   if (after.equals(before) || before.equals ("true") ) {

     ...

   }

   else if (after.equals("false") ) {

     ...

   }

   else if (before.equals("yellow") || "red".equals(after)) {

     ...

   } 

 

 

1 color per item

----------------

 

   String  before = ...

   String  after  = ...

 

   if (after.equals(before) || before.equals ("true") ) {

     ...

   }

   else if (after.equals("false") ) {

     ...

   }

   else if (before.equals("yellow") || "red".equals(after)) {

     ...

   }

PS:
You should really try the Google toolbar.
It such a time saver, it's the only reason that's keeping me from leaving windows.
