Also those parameters of a method should be marked as unused, that are handed over solely to recursive calls of the method  within the method's body.

It's clear to me that finding this in indirect recursions over multiple methods (e.g. method1 calls method 2 calls method 1) is far to complicated, but it would help a lot for direct recursions (method calls itself directly) already.

Changing Version tag to something more believable. Note that this is not a statement about when the enhancement request will be addressed (the Target Milestone field is used for that); the Version tag should be set to the version of Eclipse you were using when you saw the need for the enhancement.
