Description Missing name CLA 2010-11-22 13:58:46 EST 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When the "Unused local or private member" Error/Warning option is selected for Unnecessary Code, public methods are flagged as unused.  This should not be the case since these methods, by definition, are declared for outside use.  Any method flagged with the 'public' keyword should be excluded from this check.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a test class and add a public method to it
2. Select either "Error" or "Warning" for "Unused local or private member"
3. Compile the test class and the error/warning will be generated.

My mistake.  Please close this issue.  The class that I was looking at was a private inner class. This version of Eclipse now reports those method as unused whereas the older version did not.  I simply missed that the inner class was private.
