Good suggestion Shlomy.

I've posted images to help with this.

ErrorList config

JavaSideKick general options

(Note that this is *after* I changed the display to include arguments)

SideKick general config:

1. Type "public int xyz"
http://nik.homelinux.net/files/jedit1.png
- new field (method actually - see later) appears; "String name"
and "Object target" vanish; no error
(the yellow is DirtyGutter showing the file is modified)

2. add semicolon
http://nik.homelinux.net/files/jedit1.png
- field valishes; "String name" and "Object target" reappear; no error

3. enable "show argument lists"; type "public int xyz"
http://nik.homelinux.net/files/jedit8.png
- new element appears - as a method; fields below still vanish; no error

4. add "()"
http://nik.homelinux.net/files/jedit9.png
- new method unchanged; no error

5. add semicolon
http://nik.homelinux.net/files/jedit10.png
- missing fields reappear;
