retweetIds + tweet location

[PolyMathicus]

Hello, I have been using JTwitter for a while and I do like it a great
deal.

However, for my current goals, I need some more info concerning
tweets:

1) retweet Id. In the javadoc it says that it is often null, even
when the tweet is a retweet. But, in my experience, it is ALWAYS null.
Is there a bug which prevents it from returning the id?

2) would be nice if , when getting tweets back, there was an option
for retrieving their location as well, when of course this info is
there in the first place. It appears that Twitter4J has a
status.getLocation() method. Any plans to do so for JTwitter?

Thanks
