I thought of that, but I am afraid it would give a false warning in case the
field was really null when serialized; for example
package p;
class MyData {
final String id;
MyData(String id) {
id = Util.fixEmpty(id);
}
}
would I guess produce
<p.myData/>
after serializing new MyData(""), which is correct.
(This is why automatic, reflection-driven serialization is still a bad idea
even when you dress it up in XML...)
