Description Ayushman Jain CLA 2012-01-04 10:28:02 EST 
Patch in bug 365437 introduces an auxilliary option to go along with reporting "unused private members" option.
This option takes a comma separated list of all annotation names (fully
qualified) that, when applied to a private method, will suppress the unused
warning even if the method is not used. 
The API is:
JavaCore.COMPILER_ANNOTATIONS_TO_EXEMPT_UNUSED_PRIVATE_METHOD

Two defaults are also provided: javax.annotation.PreDestroy and javax.annotation.PostConstruct
