Bug 198838

When you write

   public List<Message> getMessages( ... ){

then you're most probably going to create a List<Message> and return it at the end of the method.

I suggest to implement a "wizard" which would guide you through it:

   public List<Message> getMessages( ... ){
      List<Message> [list] = new [ArrayList]();

      return list;
   }

with these points to be filled by user:

  1) name of the variable
  2) if return type is an interface, offer classes which implement it

As with all wizards, it's always easier to delete a line than write it, for the cases when user does not want to have it.

Thanks for considering.
