RE: Java Variable Question

I have to say as editors go the code refactoring tools in eclipse are
fantastic.

I like the little things like, you can write code using classes you haven't
even written yet and the right click on them and it will create the class
and the methods.

It really is great stuff.... he says using Visual Studio 2008 at this very
moment (which is missing that feature!!!)

I figured it was something like that, but I just wasn't sure so I thought

I

would ask.

Yes, the color coding really does help. It's very helpful in a constructor
when you try to initialize a variable but you forgot the this. prefix. You
have to love the modern IDE.

I found by accident that Eclipse allows you to Ctrl-1 on the name a
field definition and have it create the getter and setter using "this"
correctly and all. In 3.4 there is also Source -> Create Constructor
using Fields... which is a bit easier than typing it all by hand :)
