Increase severity of this bug as requested by user: "I would like to suggest that we raise the severity of #88300 to 'critical', since the incomplete search result may lead to the assumption that a method is not called anymore and therefore to the deletion of the method. The compiler would not complain, since the signature is available in the superclass. The code would be available in the attic of the SCM, but this kind of cleaning up could lead to the introduction of subtle bugs. We only found this problem by pure luck and considered it so severe that we decided to switch back to 3.0.1." In fact, it has been already fixed and released in HEAD stream as we discover by another way (mails titled "Unreferenced methods" on jdt-core-dev@eclipse.org were talking about this issue). When available, you can use this week integration build or next week 3.1 M6 milestone to have this bug fixed. [jdt-core-dev internal] Add specific test cases #testBug88300 and #testBug88300b in JavaSearchBugsTest and rename #testBug70827b as #testBug88300c. Also update buildnotes_jdt-core.html Verified in I20050330-0500 |
