Hi! I just wanted to mention two things I could do and liked in Netbeans 5.x
which I don't seem to be able to do in 6.1 ... maybe I'm being dense and
these things have just been moved:

1) I could right-click on a Java class in my project tree and choose to add
a new method / field or constructor. Alt+Insert seems to be where this is
now but it only lets me create properties with setters and getters not
general fields. And as far as methods it only lets me create override or
delegation methods not a general method. I liked the way before that I could
pop up a dialog and enter return type / parameter type etc and it just
filled in the source.

2) There was a nice Javadoc editor in 5.x which let me select Javadoc tags
from drop downs for methods, fields parameters etc and and fill in my stuff
- now it seems I have to remember all those tags and the syntax and type it
straight into my source file again.

Both these changes seem like a bit of a step backward to me. Can anyone tell
me what happened to these features and why?

James
