Hi all,
the unchecked warnings cleanups is done, has just been merged in GeoServer,
completing coverage in all
three projects.

Working on it, I leveraged IntelliJ inspections a lot to clean up the
projects quicker. Now, I could not use
automatic cleanups for the unchecked warnings, but there are a number of
low hanging fruit cleanups
that can be applied automatically, getting a good amount of cleanup for a
small effort.

Among the many, a few examples:

   - Unnecessary casts
   - Unnecessary type variable information (usage of diamond)
   - Usage of assertTrue/assertFalse when assertEquals/assertNotEquals
   would do

The ones above also have corresponding rules in PMD/SpotBugs, making them a
good candidate for
inclusion in the QA profile (do you have any other suggestions?)

Today I started looking at unnecessary casts. The automatic cleanup does
the heavy lifting, it's not
perfect, requires some manual intervention post cleanup, but I managed to
get all three projects
cleaned up in a matter of a couple hours. This included a PMD update and
some associated
extra fixes, as the unnecessary cast rule has been added just recently.

Here are the PRs for it:

   - https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/3257
   - https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pull/901
   - https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/4601

Moving forward, I think it would be nice to also leverage the IntelliJ
automatic migrations, for example:

   - Switch iterator loops to enhanced for loops
   - Migrate JUnit 3 tests to Junit 4 tests (it won't be possible to do it
   automatically for all, like the online tests)

For these I'm not sure we can do anything in terms of QA build enforcement,
but also believe no one would write
code using Junit3 or iterators these days.

So.... what do you think?

Cheers
Andrea
