How to use @SuppressWarnings

Sometimes you will got the warning in Java when you are using the eclipse. And this is kind of annoying. Now you can use this to eliminate it:

@SuppressWarnings(option)

This can be categorized into two categories:

• Put this notation right before the code with warning:
• • @SuppressWarnings("unused") String unused = "never";
• Put this notation right before the class declaration
• • @SuppressWarnings("deprecation ")
  • class DeprecationExample{ ... }

I think the warning options in red should be categoried into category 2.

You can simply try this out!

Set warning level. e.g. -warn:unusedLocal,deprecation In red are the default settings. -warn:none disable all warnings -warn:<warnings separated by ,> enable exactly the listed warnings -warn:+<warnings separated by ,> enable additional warnings -warn:-<warnings separated by ,> disable specific warnings allDeprecation deprecation even inside deprecated code allJavadoc invalid or missing javadoc assertIdentifier occurrence of assert used as identifier boxing autoboxing conversion charConcat when a char array is used in a string concatenation without being converted explicitly to a string conditionAssign possible accidental boolean assignment constructorName method with constructor name dep-ann missing @Deprecated annotation deprecation usage of deprecated type or member outside deprecated code discouraged use of types matching a discouraged access rule emptyBlock undocumented empty block enumSwitch, incomplete-switch incomplete enum switch fallthrough possible fall-through case fieldHiding field hiding another variable finalBound type parameter with final bound finally finally block not completing normally forbidden use of types matching a forbidden access rule hiding macro for fieldHiding, localHiding, typeHiding and maskedCatchBlock indirectStatic indirect reference to static member intfAnnotation annotation type used as super interface intfNonInherited interface non-inherited method compatibility javadoc invalid javadoc localHiding local variable hiding another variable maskedCatchBlocks hidden catch block nls non-nls string literals (lacking of tags //$NON-NLS-<n>) noEffectAssign assignment with no effect null missing or redundant null check over-ann missing @Override annotation paramAssign assignment to a parameter pkgDefaultMethod attempt to override package-default method raw usage a of raw type (instead of a parametrized type) semicolon unnecessary semicolon or empty statement serial missing serialVersionUID specialParamHiding constructor or setter parameter hiding another field static-access macro for indirectStatic and staticReceiver staticReceiver if a non static receiver is used to get a static field or call a static method suppress enable @SuppressWarnings syntheticAccess, synthetic-access when performing synthetic access for innerclass tasks enable support for tasks tags in source code typeHiding type parameter hiding another type unchecked unchecked type operation unnecessaryElse unnecessary else clause unqualified-field-access, unqualifiedField unqualified reference to field unused macro for unusedArgument, unusedImport, unusedLabel, unusedLocal, unusedPrivate and unusedThrown unusedArgument unused method argument unusedImport unused import reference unusedLabel unused label unusedLocal unused local variable unusedPrivate unused private member declaration unusedThrown unused declared thrown exception uselessTypeCheck unnecessary cast/instanceof operation varargsCast varargs argument need explicit cast warningToken unhandled warning token in @SuppressWarnings
