<para>Auto-generated code in Eclipse often looks like this...

</programlisting>
... do this instead ...
<programlisting>
public void readFields(DataInput di) throws IOException {

See the difference? 'arg0' is what Eclipse uses for arguments by default.

<para>
This happens more than people would imagine.
<programlisting>
Bar bar = foo.getBar(); &lt;--- imagine there's an extra space(s) after the semicolon instead of a line break.

Make sure there's a line-break after the end of your code, and also avoid lines that have nothing
but whitespace.
