Hector the file Inspector
Hector (AKA the little man with the hat) is just a wonderful UI
improvement. The human face has a lot of potential for conveying the
kinds of information developers need about the inspection status. Good
work.
Does Hector have any other "behaviors" than just turning around when you
turn inspections off?
My first reaction is that you should have a third behavior for when syntax
checking is on (when partial checking is being performed).
You need to make Hector your company mascot. That and perhap's get his
mustache trimmed.

I don't have that much use for Hector because the code I work on is
generally well factored and not HTML/JSP. I can leave the full
inspections on and feel minimal slowdown. The only problem area I have
is editing the two huge XML files we have (Ant buid file and a custom
data file) and I only need to do that on rare occasions.
