nmatt opened a new issue, #4783:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4783
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 15
### What happened
Example Java source code:
```java
public abstract class AbstractBase
{
abstract void method();
static
{
AbstractBase base = new Derived();
base.method();
}
}
final class Derived extends AbstractBase
{
@Override
void method() { return; } // (*)
}
```
NetBeans shows a warning and hint '*Remove unused "method"*' on the
overriding `method()` field (*), This is incorrect, because clearly the method
is being used, via the `AbstractBase` type. The usage analysis apparently
doesn't take overridden methods into account.
NetBeans 12.2 (which I used previously) does not show that warning, although
it does support the same hint ("Unused Element"). So this appears to be a
regression.
### How to reproduce
See example source code above.
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
Apache NetBeans 12.3 or earlier
### Operating System
Windows 10 Enterprise 22H1
### JDK
Oracle JDK 8u271
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans provided installer
### Anything else
_No response_
### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
