It would be nice if the code style preferences could be enhanced so that programming fluent interfaces [1] becomes a bit faster.

A start could be to allow a setting to return "this" instead of void when generating setters.


	public TipImage setHeight(int pHeight) {
		fHeight = pHeight;
		return this;
	}
	
	public TipImage setWidth(int pWidth) {
		fWidth = pWidth;
		return this;
	}

        ...

        TipImage image = new TipImage("/logo.png").setHeight(200).setWidth(100);

Moving to UI for consideration.
