But I do sympathize with the "don't remove all blank lines" camp - they
don't actually cost any processor cycles, and they really can help
readability.
I know that is a subjective assessment, but I do find it hard to read
through really white-space-free code - the whitespace really helps
signify separate "thoughts", IMO.

Nathan,
You are doing a great job in Swing tests. Non-empty lines you've
deleted repay triple cost of these empty lines. :-)
There should be a sign above every programmer's desk: "how many
lines of code did you delete today?" :-)
I'm serious - every line of code represents CPU cycles, footprint,
and worst of all potential bugs. Every time we make a real
improvement in Mika we end
up with less code than when we started.
That's my mantra too. It gives me great pleasure to remove
unnecessary chunks and simplify code.

Keep up the good work Nathan.
+1. (Thanks for your cleanup of the BasicSwingTestCase dependency.)
