Re: [platform-releng-dev] Java editor defaults changed

I have to say after trying this that
it looks very noisy. Over use of varying fonts is a classic UI design blooper.
A typical Java method now has up to eight different fonts using the default
style settings. I understand the desire to show off new features, but isn't
this a bit much?

Subject	[platform-releng-dev] Java editor defaults changed

In last night's build it appears that the default behaviour of the Java
editor has changed: 
- static members are now italic 
- methods are bold 
- fields are blue 
- ... 

Some issues, 
- I don't think this change was reviewed or approved
- this will hose anyone who has been creating screen shots

Please revert or justify the change.
