Description twolf2919 2011-12-08 14:25:21 UTC 
It would be very useful to have Inspect & Transform provide a transformation for cases where the code appends single-character strings instead of using characters.  I.e.
     stringBuilder.append("1");

should be replaced by:
     stringBuilder.append('1');

PMD has a rule that finds these things: AppendCharacterWithChar, but, alas, PMD doesn't fix things for you :-(
