I wan't entirely serious when I wrote that.  However...

Any time I find myself faced with a lot of similar code, I do start
looking for ways to abstract out the similarities, in whatever language
I happen to be working in.  Java is particularly rich in ways to
accomplish this.  And for really trivial boilerplate code, any good
programming editor should provide ways to generate that that are both
more flexible and less error-prone than simple copy/paste.  Again,
Eclipse is particularly rich in ways to accomplish this.

I stand by my ridiculous assertion :-)
