Yeah, I've taken a crack at doing just that. However, I wasn't 
really satisified with the results; it doesn't seem like a simple filter
could consistently do a good job, and you really need to do some proper
syntax-parsing to get good results. 
(and even despite that, I found that the JDK indeed has some parsing
errors too.)

So more recently, I started looking into using something like JavaCC to
create a proper parser. (Although I haven't gotten further with that
either.)

But I've got no strong feelings about it, if you want to take over the
code I've written so far and run with it, it's fine by me.
