Description _ sandipchitale 2006-06-17 08:03:45 UTC

When I have something like:

String name = namesList(i);

The hint appears which offers me to add a cast to type String so that the code 
looks like this:

String name = (String)namesList(i);

This is all well and good.

However it will be really nice if an additonal hint offered to wrap the return 
value in String.valueOf() resulting in code:

String name = String.valueOf(nameList(i));

That way it will work when the return type of the expression is primitive also.

Similar hints sensitive to int and or Integer could also be developed.

int i = Integer.parseInt(zipCodesStrings.get(i));

etc. etc.

Makes sense?
