With the default settings in Eclipse, the Lucene/Solr codebase shows over 6000 warnings. This is the case for both branch_4x and trunk. I'm no expert, but this does seem a little excessive. If I were to take on the task of reducing this number, what advice can the group give me? Is there someone in particular that I should consider a resource for inevitable dumb questions?
I haven't done an exhaustive survey, but I would imagine that most of them can be eliminated fairly easily. I'm fully aware that we may not be able to eliminate them all. One problem with fixing warnings is that the resulting patch(es) would be just as invasive as the recent work to move branch_4x to Java 7. This would complicate any ongoing work, especially large-scale work that is happening onchange-specific branches. A similar topic that may require a separate discussion: FindBugs.
