In bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=197531
I've explained what our default build
"warning" settings are.
And, I've created a preference file
that matches these settings, as I best I could ... except there are some
are 'errors'
instead of 'warnings', to make it very
unlikely that warnings (such as "unused imports" get checked
into CVS).
If it looks correct, and teams find
it useful, please put it in each of your projects so we can make progress
on
eliminating our warnings problem.
Just write comments in the bug if it
looks right, looks wrong, or you if you found it useful or not.
Do keep in mind this is currently the
minimum. Which means, don't overwrite yours if you have stricter ones already.
And, remember, we want to get current
warnings to zero so then we can step it up ... perhaps start flagging unguarded
nulls,
for example.
This will become a weekly focus item
before too long, and likely 0 warnings will become a criteria to declare
a build!
There's no excuse for it as far as I
can tell.
