Hi, Last week we held [1] the first (of hopefully several!) JDK8 Warnings Cleanup Days (WCD), where the OpenJDK community collaborated to reduce the number of warnings in the JDK8 source.
We started with just over 10,000 warnings before WCD. The checked-in changesets fixed a total of *1,498 * warnings, leaving 8,515. The pending changesets (with webrevs) would fix and additional 674 warnings, giving a grand total of *2,172* warning fixed, bringing us down to 7,841 overall. Great job to everyone who participated!! If you would like to see the further breakdown of the changes, you can go to the warnings cleanup wiki [2] and see them there. We learned a lot from this first experience and appreciated how quickly the community responded to our request for help even with such short notice. Thanks again! -Xiomara [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8-dev/2011-November/000302.html [2] http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenJDK/JDK8+warning+cleanup+day+%282011-12-01%29
