Would anyone mind if I submit a patch that fixes all the outstanding warnings, etc., reported during the build process and by checkstyles and findbugs on the trunk? More importantly, if I do this, is it possible to adhere to a zero tolerance policy on warnings for future commits?
I find the 3000 or so warnings currently produced to be a rather significant impediment to doing work on this code base, or at least, in preventing an avalanche of new warnings upon future commits, given the trouble required to determine the diffs between new warnings and old warnings. Perhaps this isn't a problem for changes to one file, but for changes to a hundred files, it is a major headache. Anyway, some of these 3000 are actually real, lurking bugs. I'm willing to do the cleanup work if others will help maintain cleanliness going forward. Regards, Glenn
