I am in the middle of my own hell, attempting to code a Swing application that utilises JTree. I figure I've been evil in a previous life, because nothing should ever be this complicated. I am being punished. I realise this now. I'll just take it as a man.

I am using Eclipse3 and I am not sure if this feature was in the previous versions since I never noticed. As anyone that has done JTree work, it's a casting nightmare. So while you rattle out a bunch of code, the compiler moans of various class mismatchs. I accidentally right hand clicked on one problem in the Problem panel and discovered the 'Quick Fix' option. Having no idea what the hell it done, I ventured to click it once and never go near it again if it blew something up!

To my absolute surprise it fixed things for me! Put in the casts for me; even implemented the methods for the many interfaces that Swing makes your implement. Wow, what a time saver that has been. Its a wonderful piece of technology and I applaud the developer that implemented this. Job well done.

So the question now, just what other goodies is lurking within Eclipse that I've yet to discover.

Just been informed that this feature was in earlier releases of Eclipse. Still a great feature!
