Description athompson 2001-01-15 21:15:12 UTC 
although one can argue that truly correct programming obviates the need for a
'return' statement if you are not returning a value, it is nevertheless
sometimes useful. in addition, some people like to enclose their return
arguments in paranthesis, i.e. 'return(x)'.  in any case it would be more
consistent to omit the trailing space, since 'return' is not a modifier and does
not necessarily have to be followed by anything.

Unfortunatelly we cannot make the abbreviations comfortable for all the users
by default. Originally the abbreviation for 'return ' worked the way that you
request but the users demanded to change it to the current behavior. If you
want 're' to be expanded to 'return' or 'return(' please change the 're'
abbreviation in Tools->Options->Editor Settings->Java Editor->Abbreviations.
