Re: [jdt-dev] Re: idea for refactoring 
Nope :)
varargs  are also useful.
But sometimes like Dan said you have something like this:

public void printSomeStuff(String s)
{
   printSomeStuff(String s, "default prefix: ");
}

public void printSomeStuff(String s, String prefix)
{
   System.out.println(prefix + " -->  " + s);
}


It would be nice to have just:

public void printSomeStuff(String s, String prefix = "default prefix: ")
{
   System.out.println(prefix + " -->  " + s);
}



Maybe not a very nice example, but it shows what Dan and I mean.
Dan wants to have the following (tell me if I'm wrong here somewhere, Dan):
Refactor: Create optional arguments methods (Can't think of a name)

This will popup a dialog with the selected method and parameters:

==============================
main method: printSomeStuff(String s, String prefix)

optional   parameter    default value
[ ]            s
[x]            prefix          ["default prefix: "]


                             OK
==============================
This, and another refactoring that will let you change all calls to the method with default parameters (everywhere that calls: printSomeStuff(xxxx, "default prefix: ") into the short call (printSomeStuff(xxxx)) 

I hope this was clear, and that the dialog shows properly..

Humm, the printf formatting feature uses variable length argument lists. Is this what you are looking for?
