URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5173
Recently, I ran into to issues with the unused element hint:
- the detection of unused package private elements sometimes causes
problems, e.g. when the index is (for some reason) broken. Overall, it may not
be possible to make this work 100%. Suggestion here is to add an option to
disable the package private unused detection, with default "enabled".
- some code (OpenJDK, specifically), has private methods that are then
looked up using `MethodHandles.Lookup`. The unused detection marks them as
unused, which is not quite true. The idea here is to use the method names to
(heuristically) try to find out which may be looked up using the `MH.Lookup`,
and not mark them as unused.
