Jacek Lewandowski commented on CASSANDRA-18239:
-----------------------------------------------
ErrorProne works nice.
Since it is a compiler plugin, the verification cannot be separated from the
build itself. Overall it might be faster than others, perhaps it takes into
account incremental compilation.
Apart from reporting bugs resulting from static analysis, it is picky about
some JavaDocs structures, like having comment in {{@return}} but missing a
summary.

> Eclipse warnings is used for static code analysis. However, it does not fit
> well into Cassandra code and practically we end up explicitly adding
> suppressions in many places just to satisfy that tool rather than fix the
> real issues.
> This is an incomplete list of reasons to remove it:
> - not closed resources are detected incorrectly
> - does not recognize custom utility methods used to close the resources,
> which use use heavily in the code, like {{Throwables.close}},
> {{FileUtils.close}}, {{closeQuietly}}...
> - because of the above, we cannot make important things like {{Ref}} to
> implement {{Closeable}} as it would make the tool to explode with tons of
> warnings
> - it complains about correct generics - something like "method X is not
> applicable for ..." when the code compiles successfully is not acceptable
> - it is old and not maintained
> There are better tools like IntelliJ inspections for example, which can also
> be run in headless mode
