Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2003-07-23 12:10:24 EDT 
In the following case the field "i" is tagged has unused, whereas it is used in 
an assignment.

public class Foo {
	private int i;
	public bar(int i) {
		this.i = i;  
	} 
}

It is never read from (which is what the warning tells you).
--> The private field Foo.i is never read locally

So you can discard all assignments to this field, and the field too.

There are days, where it's best to stay in bed.
