bmotmans: yes, but I'm not sure it's a good idea for it to be used in a gui i.e. it's likely the logic in there will be slower than finding the next defect, hurting overall performance e.g. I made a change, not yet committed, to the wizard to only update the defect counter (very small action) only on each type (not even methods). so i suppose we are better off showing a progress dialog instead of updating the gui every time a defect is found well ideally it's worth a try ;-) sometimes things a bit slower looks a bit faster because of human "limited" perceptions (e.g. IBM SNA screen updates)
