I assumed that there was a setting for that somewhere which I hadn't yet 
found (I'm still getting used to where all the various options settings 
are...)

... Ok, found it. Beside the "fields" checkbox in JavaSidekick, is 
"include primitives". Checked that, and "int xyz" now just moves from 
the method list to the field list.

I had assumed that it was not a problem because PMD had managed to paint 
warnings all over the gutter. :o)

But I've tried now, and still no errors or warnings are displayed.
The behaviour with SideKick is that it seems to assume the most likely 
match from the grammar - even if the code is incomplete.

For example, if I type "protected ArrayList(String> xyz", SideKick 
displays it as a contructor - having apparently parsed it as a 
(possible) method with no return type.

So, with my installation and settings, it seems SideKick is determined 
to see the glass half full rather than the glass half empty :o) 
(possible good code rather than possible errors).

Cheers!
