Re: [eclipse-dev] New unused method/type/ctor/field diagnostics from Jav

[Chris Goldthorpe <cgold@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would reiterate this alert and encourage
committers to make sure that they build all their plug-in  projects
using last weeks I-build, including those which you have not modified in
the last week. I ran into three of these errors myself today when I was
preparing to tag my projects for the integration build. They were trivial
to fix.

Hello ! 

        With the recent resolution of the following
defects: 

        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201912
([compiler] Unused public members of private classes not flagged) 
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=264991
 (Wrong 'unused' problem reported) 
        https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=265142
(Compiler fails to warn on unused constructors of private classes)

you may begin to see new unused entity diagnostics from the Eclipse Java
compiler if your private classes contains unused methods, types,
fields or constructors.  The first two fixes are available from Build
ID I20090217-2200 and the final one will become available from the next
integration build. 

        For projects which are configured so that an
unused code diagnostics would result in an error, this would mean a build
breakage 
once you upgrade to the build with the fix (should your projects have unused
code). Hence the advance alert. 

FYI, 
Thanks! 
Srikanth
