Description Robert (Kraythe) Simmons CLA 2004-06-23 13:26:52 EDT 
Currently the generation wizzard makes the following: 

public final static main(String[] args) {
}

However, this should actually be:

public final static main(final String[] args) {
}

The keyword final firms up the code and blocks unintentional assignment.

Not critical for 3.0.
Comment 2 Robert (Kraythe) Simmons CLA 2004-09-20 15:08:52 EDT 
Could we quickly patch this for 3.1? I cant immagine it would take more than 2 
minutes. =)

Maybe you like this style - others don't. Reopening to mark as dup of bug 40078,
since we shouldn't offer an option just for this specific case.
