Description Jiri Prox 2008-08-25 15:16:24 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080825043643)
Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b13
System: Linux version 2.6.22-15-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

Change type hint can be extended to work also for methods. It will suggest change return type of method when there is
incompatible type used in the return clause.

Example:

    public String meth() {
        return 1;
    }

the hint on line with return can suggest changing the method into:

    public int meth() {
        return 1;
    }
