Description Riyad Kalla CLA 2002-04-05 20:01:00 EST 
Example of code snippet:

int lastY = getPadding().top;
Label item = null;
		
for( int i = 0; i < listItems.size(); i++ )
{
     item = (Label)listItems.get( i );
}

I have "warning" turned on for variables that are unused, and eclipse 
reports "item" as an unused variable.

I'm using:

Windows XP
Eclipse March 22nd stable release
JDK 1.4
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-04-08 07:02:32 EDT 
The error message was changed a while ago to read : 
  "The local variable item is never read"

which is more intuitive.
Closing.
