Description Koen van Dijken CLA 2006-04-18 05:48:27 EDT 
On a private recursive method 'recursiveMethod', removing a parameter 'xxx' which is only used for the the recursive call gives the message 

"Removed parameter 'xxx' is used in method 'recursiveMethod' declared in type ..."

This is true, but should not cause a problem, this parameter can be safely removed.

Please provide steps to reproduce and reopen.
Comment 2 Koen van Dijken CLA 2006-04-18 07:38:17 EDT 
To reproduce:

public class Class137175 {

    private void recursiveMethod(int a, int b) {
        System.out.println(a);
        if (a > 0)
            recursiveMethod(a - 1, b);
    }
}

Use CMS to remove parameter b to change the method signature to:

private void recursiveMethod(int a)

This will give the warning.
