public boolean method() { return something ? true : codeExtractedToNewMethod(); }

I do not agree with this, with your method it is difficult to know what
the return type would be, wich was the main point.
Now what i'm asking myself is what is the point of having a return type at all
if it is always "true" ?

You can not use "this" in "main wich is a static method
because "this" refers to an object and a static method
can only refer to a class (not an instanciation)

It depends of the gender of the name bearer.
Is that so confusing ?

Now you want something hairy...

You could put the "setId" method private.
An then call this method by reflection from
your DTO converter.
An exemple : Reflection/Private

Do you think God designed the Universe with UML ?

Important thing is to hang around with boss, do less work, but project a busy air and most important talk like you know what you are doing...even if you dont!

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Kind of contradiction , no?

nice !

none of these since the second condition is false

If I were you, I would not come on JavaRanch for 10 days.

for(int i=0;1<array.length;i++)

have a closer look at this line. Should not be to
difficult to spot the mistake

It would be impossible to sort String with just an "equals" method.
You need some method to tell you "bigger" or "smaller". (before or after)

Here in France , when you go to a bar and ask "un demi" (1/2),
you get 1/4 litre of beer. How strange....
If you ask for "un quart" (1/4) , you usually get ...
No it's not 12,5 cl of beer! You get 25 cl of red wine.

Sometimes instead of saying "I would like 6 eggs", you say
"I would like une demi douzaine" wich is really "half of twelfe".

Have a look at JfileChooser
You lucky man, the job is already made.

boolean condition = true; for(int i=0; i<=1; i++){ if(condition){ [I]somecode...[/I] condition = false; }else { [I] somecode...[/I] }

Please don't laugh to loud...I'm quite certain you can find sometimes
this kind of code with just a little bit of disguise
