Just removed the C++ style private variables
cool, but... 1) why place a "final" in the arguments 2) you should only use the "this." in the setter
1) I was reading hardcore java - www.oreilly.com/catalog/*hardcore*jv/
The arguments made in favour of declaring variables to methods as final far outweighed (in my mind), the hassle of typing a few extra characters. The chapter on final being used in this (and a variety of other manners) is available as a pdf and I thoroughly recommend reading it, just to see what you think, but I couldn't disagree with his reasoning.
2) yeah, sorry, I got carried away I think - in other methods there should be no need to use this - doh!
The main reason I did this was that I've been trying to contribute for the last few days and I haven't found anything that I felt I had the time to start on and this looked like a quick contribution,
Kev
