Somewhere in Preferences->Java->Compiler->Errors/Warnings, I have a
setting that denies me the possibility of inserting a premature return
statement while debugging.

Frequently, I don't want to execute the statements after that point and I
don't want always to have to comment out the rest of the method.

But, neither can I figure out what (Europa) severity level equates to the
compiler error so I can change it to a warning. If someone knows the name
of this option, or whether it is even an option, please inform me.

Thanks,
Russ Bateman

Russ,

I'm not sure you can turn this off something that's required to be a
diagnosed error by the Java specification. Here's the trick I use instead.

if (true) return;

There's no such option.

Thanks, the if( true ) thing will work.
