Btw: if anyone wants to update the hint description text for this or other hints its fairly easy to do E.g adding int size = Arrays.asList(new byte[3]).size(); System.out.println(size); // returns 1 to the description might help to visualize the problem. https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/f914d7fecd5bb0a4537b706cf6a22d93bc33b6d1/java/java.hints/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/hints/bugs/Bundle.properties#L228-L229 in case anyone wants to contribute it ;) best regards, michael --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
