Description Rémi Forax CLA 2005-06-15 09:57:25 EDT 
eclipse raise an unecessary cast in a case that require a cast :

char c=...
System.out.println("%d\n",(int)c);

in this case, the cast is usefull because c must be box in Integer.

There is no boxing there, it is either using 
PrintStream#println(char)
or 
PrintStream#println(int).

Now, there shouldn't be any warning signalled here.

Actually, there is some boxing, but the example is wrong, it should be using
#printf(...) instead of #println(...)

public class X {
	public static void main(String[] s) {
		char c = 'a';
		System.out.printf("%d\n",(int)c);		
	}
}
