First, get rid of the global, like so:
>
>
* public List getChildren(Element element) {
>
* List elements = new ArrayList();
> elements.add(element);
>
> Node child;
> Node next = (Node) element.getFirstChild();
> while ((child = next) != null) {
> next = child.getNextSibling();
> if (child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
> getChildren((Element) child);
> }
> }
* return elements;
> }
Next, get rid of all the carriage returns.
That knocks it down to about one line of code. I like my Chianti very dry,
thank you.
