-----------------------------------------
Summary: Warning hint "Unused Element" can't be suppressed
Key: NETBEANS-5379
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5379
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java - Hints
Affects Versions: 12.2
Reporter: Niklas Matthies
The hint "Unused Element" (category "Probably Bugs") can't be suppressed, it
seems. In particular, @SuppressWarnings("unused") doesn't suppress it.
One concrete use case I have is a try-with-resources where the resource
variable is not used in the try block. (Of course, it is implicitly used for
close()-ing the resource.) NetBeans generates a warning (which is fine, the
code could indeed be wrong) which however can't be suppressed. Previously (last
tested in 12.0), @SuppressWarnings("try") would do the trick.
This isn't the first time a warning hint was introduced without a way to
suppress it. I'd like to suggest to always, as a rule, without exception, add a
suppression constant, because there are invariably cases where a warning is a
false positive.
