IDEs have a very good idea of program structure across classes.
Perhaps they could export a bit of that knowledge to make JavaC
smarter.
In particular they could warn it when constantans have changed and
thus classes that depend on that constant need to be recompiled.
Think many times you have scratched you head only to discover you
forgot to do a clean compile (overly drastic) just because some public
constant changed.

"Plants" with "leaves" no more efficient than today's solar cells
could out-compete real plants, crowding the biosphere with an
inedible foliage. Tough omnivorous "bacteria" could out-compete
real bacteria: They could spread like blowing pollen, replicate
swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days.
Dangerous replicators could easily be too tough, small, and
rapidly spreading to stop -- at least if we make no preparation.
We have trouble enough controlling viruses and fruit flies.
