nmatt opened a new issue, #8928:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/8928
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 27
### What happened
A record class that is package-private is always shown as unused, unless
there is a constructor invocation ("new" expression) in the same source file.
The record class name is syntax-highlighted as unused, and a hint 'Remove
unused "<record name>"' is shown, although the class is used within the same
package.
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
_No response_
### How to reproduce
Create a package-private record class:
```java
package net.example;
record Example(int n) { }
```
Add a use of it in the same package:
```java
package net.example;
class Test { { System.out.println(new Example(0).n()); } }
```
=> The declaration of record Example erroneously shows it as unused.
Add a usage within the record class itself:
```java
package net.example;
record Example(int n) { }
class Test2 { { new Example(0); } }
```
=> The "unused" disappears.
