I've found the new (3.0-M6) code formatter choking on (what i believe to be) a
legal Java code snippet. by choke, i mean the TextEdit returned from the
format() call is null. 

===8<=======8<=========8<===========8<
class Foo
{
    public static final Foo KABOOM = new Foo();

    private Foo() {
    }

    public Foo blowup() {
        return(Foo.KABOOM);
    }
}
===8<=======8<=========8<===========8<

the null TextEdit can be avoided if:
a) the parentheses in the return statement are removed
or
b) the return statement is changed to: return(KABOOM);

however, both jikes and javac compile the snippet above, so it seems like the
formatter should handle it as well.
