Victor, I noticed we had to break up a function to satisfy Checkstyle's max method length size of 150 ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-cvs&m=105806596213734&w=2). That seems too constricted for our use--it's may force parameter passing of local variables where none would otherwise be needed. I would double the limit to 300--the function above did not warrant rewriting--a better option may be to remove the limit entirely.
Combined, the two case statement blocks tripped Checkstyle's limit, causing Checkstyle to complain: so you placed both blocks into separate functions. But what if the second case statement was much smaller? Checkstyle wouldn't complain about the method containing on the switch statement, so *neither* of the two case statements would be placed into their own function. This seems too arbitrary: something in addition to method size should play a part in the decision to create new methods.
