[wtp-dev] Top Ten reasons for compiler warnings

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks to those that have worked to decreased
our
compiler warninggs, we've gone from
1239 in M8, to 
1110 in last weekly I-build, to 
885 in last continuous I-build,
(the last chunk done by me, not sure 
who did the first chunk). 

But, 885 is still WAY too many, and 
the "top ten" list has not changed that
much, 
since the last time I sent this note -- 6 weeks ago!

Can these component leads educate me on what 
the problem is? Is it that you simple don't 
have enough time? Is it that you disagree that 
its important? Would a "how to use Eclipse"
session help 
to learn how easy it is to fix these? Is there some

technical issue I do not understand?
(I would think a huge number could be fixed in one
hour, 
and do not think you have to fix all at once, let's
just 
have some steady progress, and a "time-window-box"
of 
1 hour is reasonable. That is, what ever progress
is made in one 
hour would suffice for a first attempt. Let me know

how that works out ... if one hour is not a good estimate.

Can we get one hour spent during the next week so
for the 
next wwekly I-build be greatly reduced?


Top Ten number of warnings and my understanding
of who is the responsible component lead.

These top ten projects account for 587, of the 
remaining 885. 


o.e.wst.xsd.ui          
       186  Craig
o.e.wst.wsdl.ui          
      104  Craig
o.e.wst.wsi            
         65  Craig
o.e.wst.rdb.models.sql        
  60  Der Ping
o.e.jst.j2ee            
        34  Chuck
o.e.wst.ws.explorer          
   29  Chris
o.e.jst.j2ee.core          
     26  Chuck
o.e.wst.rdb.server.ui        
   26  Der Ping
o.e.jst.ws.axis.consumption.ui   24  Chris
o.e.wst.common.modulecore        24
 Chuck

Most of these are very easy to fix and
clean up, but does need to be done by
the responsible parties, since there are
occasionally cases that require some
understanding of the code.

Of course, if your not in the top ten, you 
still fix yours too. :) 

Many thanks for your attention,
