Captin... The cyclometric complexity meter is at max... I canne give it
any more.
Reflection can seriously help with big else-ifs. If your switching on a
variable use the variable name and value as part of the class name and
then do;
Class blahHandlerClass = Class.forName( "BlahHandlerFor"+value );
BlahHandler blahHandler = blahHandlerClass.newInstance();
blahHandler.doYourWork();
It splits your code into more manageable chunks, allows you to add
handlers for new values without touching the motherload, and it makes it
look like you're a java ninja blending in with the workplace :).

We have a 1M class where I'm at now. That's *1M* of source. 30k+ lines, mostly
if-elseif.
It broke our cyclometric complexity meter, had to put in a bigger fuse. It
makes Eclipse cry. It makes *me* cry. Kinda like this thread.
