I had a look at the page too (try searching for the word "final" :-). But it doesn't really seem say more than the obvious "Helps compiler optimization and more clearly documents the use of classes" ... So it can be helpful for people reading the code to know that it has no subclases, but it's not really a big deal. Together also has some QA rules relating to the use of final. One is that *all* instantiated classes should be final. The others just seem to relate to constant attributes which seems fair enough. Luke. -- Luke Taylor. Monkey Machine Ltd.
