I haven't really used Eclipse, but have seen the quickfix feature. Are there different categories of quick fixes? For example, to separate those that it is safe to automatically repair (e.g. reordering modifiers according to recommendations, removing redundant imports), from those that require human verification (e.g. whether to remove an unused private variable/method). It would be nice if the fixes were separated into at least these categories from the outset so that you can safely have a "auto-fix all safe fixes" function. Cheers, Len.
