Description Channing Walton CLA 2002-11-27 11:36:04 EST 
Hi,
I would like to be able to set an 'ignore main method' option for the Compiler
preferences unused parameters problem marker.

Its the only case where one is forced into a situation where a parameters (args)
can be ignored.

Nice to have, will keep for later.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-02-11 06:43:14 EST 
Resurrecting for investigation, as per request for RC1.
Comment 3 Channing Walton CLA 2003-02-11 15:07:55 EST 
Is it worth generalising this so that you can ignore designated methods ?
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-02-12 05:46:02 EST 
I see where you are going, but I would keep it simple and reasonable. There are 
a few obvious ones as main(), and we could add more of these down the roads (or 
even introduce a list of methods to avoid, and/or @ignore-unused-parameter tag 
in javadoc etc...).

Actually, I would prefer the C++ approach, where unused parameter names can be 
omitted, so no diagnosis is issued (would make our life so much simpler).

Simple is good :-)
Comment 6 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-02-14 06:59:27 EST 
Unused parameter diagnosis will now ignore parameters in an abstract method, a 
main method, an implementation of an abstract method or a method overriding a 
concrete one. 

Fixed
