TL;DR version: Anyone is interested in writing (or finding) an javax.annotation.processing.Processor that removes @SuppressFBWarnings annotation when we compile with javac, and integrate that with our build?
Long version: Compiling code that depends on FreeMarker 2.3.24 with Gradle issues a bunch of these: warning: Cannot find annotation method 'value()' in type 'SuppressFBWarnings': class file for edu.umd.cs.findbugs.annotations.SuppressFBWarnings not found It turns out that it happens with the default Gradle setup as well. Worse, the project where I ran into this has -Werror switch, which means that compilation warnings and treated as errors. Thus the upgrade to 2.3.24 has broken that build. So clearly, either the SuppressFBWarnings-s will have to be removed or commented out (which is a loss in code quality control), or somehow they have to be removed automatically on compilation. Maybe a custom annotation processor (javax.annotation.processing.Processor) can do that (removing SuppressFBWarnings annotations). If that's not possible, then copying and filter the source code is another option, though it's ugly (and maybe will get even uglier if we switch to in FM3 Maven). Anyone is interested in figuring this out? -- Thanks, Daniel Dekany Tuesday, March 22, 2016, 9:01:51 PM, David E Jones wrote: > > +1 (binding) > > Others have reviewed the various release artifacts (and my > experience with ASF releases is now dated anyway) so I focused my > review on testing Freemarker with a few automated test sets I have > around.
