Using latest, compiling the following example reports an unnecessary cast that
is indeed required, otherwise it is a compile error.

public class X {

	private static void checkConversions(byte _byte) {
		Short s = (short) _byte; // cast reported as unnecessary
	} 

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        byte _byte = 2;

        checkConversions(_byte);
        System.out.println("OK");
      }
}

This might be related to bug 83965.
