Man after my own heart :) http://blog.dblevins.com/2011/04/final-is-my-favorit-java-keyword.html An update to that though, is that I've gotten very used to seeing final and now declarations without out it look odd. Funny how we adapt :) On the `this`, I think it's fine on fields. Using it on method references is a bit odd to look at -- doesn't mean it's bad, just not use to it. The only thing that I would ask is to do the reformatting separately from the actual change. Bit of a needle in a haystack to find the one fix amongst dozens of reformatted lines. You have no choice but to read each line one by one in case there was a subtle code change in there with the final or other formatting change. I often reformat a file and check it in with "reformatted" before I do the real editing. A bit of a pain, but saves everyone time when I commit and saves me time in the future when someone finds a bug I have to go back and figure out what I did to break something that worked fine. -David
