does IntelliJ do any of these things

I am taking IntelliJ out for its first spin. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/intellij.html

You can see my first program at:
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/arraylist.html#GROWINGARRAYLIST

Everything is going smoothly. I wondered if the following features
exist somewhere and I just can't find them.

1. Reorder methods and declarations in canonical order. I make heavy
use of this in Eclipse to save finding the right spot to insert. I put
methods and declarations I am working temporarily adjacent then
reorder.

2. tidy javadoc.

3. summarise syntax errors, like the Eclipse "problems" panel.

4. quickly ensure Javadoc are complete. I have found the lint which
requires opening a zillion tree elements to find nit picks rather than
true errors.

For #1, install the Rearranger plugin via IntelliJ's plugin manager.
Rearranger has many settings that allow you to specify the order of
fields, methods, private, public, etc. etc.

For #2, search the IntelliJ help for JavaDoc and look at the item titled:

"Code Style - JavaDoc"

This allows you to specify many JavaDoc style choices.

IntelliJ will use your preferences to reformat your JavaDoc code when
you tell it to reformat your code.

I wonder if these things are possible. I have not found them yet.

1. viewing the JavaDoc for classes in rendered form.

2. getting a summary listing like the Eclipse problems panel of all
outstanding syntax errors.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, but Ctrl+Q (Quick JavaDoc) or
the full Shift-F1 (launch JavaDoc in browser) seem appropriate, for
classes/methods/just about anything.

I don't know Eclipse, so I can't say for sure, but I don't recall a
feature like this.

I can't imagine why I'd need it though, error highlighting in the RHS
gutter and F2 / Shift+F2 navigation seem like plenty to me. How many
errors at a time are you writing? ;-)

I change something and it creates errors far away, e.g. change a
Button to a JButton.

My eyesights is not good. Scanning for those little squiggles does not
work well. I end up doing compilations to find the errors which are
very slow in IntelliJ for some reason. It must have a way of unloading
the compiler after every use.. The Eclipse way is there is a summary
"problems" panel When that window is empty, you know you have nailed
them all. Further clicking on one line takes you direct to the
problem.

I think the key will be using f2 to find them.
