Description mclaassen 2008-12-18 16:21:51 UTC 
Eclipse's editor, as well as the editor in Netbeans will notify a user of unused variables.  However, in Eclipse's
editor, if you put an @SuppressWarnings("unused"), the editor will pick that up and not display that warning any more.

Netbeans should be aware of annotations and highlight warnings accordingly.  Also, I would like to see more warnings
about unsafe casts and such...the things that you get with the compile option -Xlint:unchecked.  And, of course, the
corresponding annotation to suppress those warnings would be honored.
