I like having the menu showing the parameters (how about a submenus for
those methods with the same name but different argument types?) but I
agree that it would be nice to have it optional whether to insert the
method types. I would also like it configurable whether to insert a
space between the method name and opening '(' i.e. foo ( (to comply with
our coding standards!) Whereabouts in JDE works out what to return and
how to format it?
As an aside java-font-lock20a.el with jde seems to do a slightly better
job of fontifying. It does some underlining in comments and seems to
handle fontifying over multiple lines better. It was written by
