Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-10-14 09:08:46 EDT

In this code:
	public void createPropertyList(StringBuffer buf) throws Exception {
		HashMap properties= getPropertyList();
		
		StringBuffer buf= new StringBuffer();
		buf.append("***************************");
		buf.append("xxx");
	
I want to make buf a parameter. If I select 'new StringBuffer()' this works, but
it would introduce a new variable (e.g. buffer) and the code would look like that:
		StringBuffer buf= buffer;
Couldn't it take 'buf' right away?

Not for 3.0, but it's a valid enhancement request.

It's really nice to have this done. It has been assigned for a long time. any ideas when it's ready? (in Intellij IDEA it works)
