You may have this already but in case not...

I have just turned on the Eclipse option to warn when variable declarations 
shadow another of the same name:

Preferences | Java | Compiler | Errors/Warnings


[cid:58cb3935-1c1d-4692-8ced-15d8a1f06176]


..after noticing a case of this by manual inspection (never easy without help 
from the IDE).


Of course what to do if the warning is raised needs some thought...

- if it is really a different variable, change the name to avoid confusion

- if it should be the shadowed variable, change the declaration (having worked 
out the impact)
