Comment 1 markiewb 2013-02-11 15:52:52 UTC 
You can implement as an inspection

<!description="Flip &lt;&gt;">
$a < $b 
=>
$b > $a
;;
$a > $b 
=>
$b < $a
;;
Comment 2 lforet 2013-02-11 16:02:34 UTC 
Indeed, but the common mortal programmer won't do that. And inspect tasks are really hard to execute quickly. So everybody will do the flip manually.

The main idea here is to have quick fixes/hints to help developer to do that kind of job quickly

Custom inspections ARE available as hints. See screenshot for an example.

Indeed, I test it and it works like a charm. 

That functionality should be more visible and maybe enable by default.

Worksforme
(a < b) will be transformed to (a>=b)

Has been fixed in 7.4 timeline (org.netbeans.modules.java.hints.suggestions.FlipOperands)
