Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2285:
------------------------------------

bq. some of the changes are problematic because they appear in generated 
classes (like QueryParser),

So? All I did was remove unnecessary semicolons and casts ... next time those 
files will be generated, the warnings will return. But at least until then we 
can live w/ few less warnings ... which will allow my perfectionist eyes to 
rest a little :).

bq. replaced all LUCENE_CURRENT constants in tests

Yes, I figured I'm already touching these files, let's do it all at once. 
Reduced another ~300 warnings.

About the removed casts - eclipse really warns you on unnecessary casts. I have 
never found a case where it was wrong. The removed cast from TestCharArraySet 
is justified because you want to test the contains(Object) method, which is 
exactly what happens. In fact, when I look at the code, I think there is a 
wrong cast:
{code}
    assertFalse(CharArraySet.EMPTY_SET.contains((Object) "foo")); // invokes 
the contains(Object) method
    assertFalse(CharArraySet.EMPTY_SET.contains("foo".toCharArray())); // 
invokes the contains(Object) method
    assertFalse(CharArraySet.EMPTY_SET.contains("foo".toCharArray(),0,3)); // 
invokes the contains(char[], int, int) method
{code}

If the intention was to check all 3 contains methods, then the first cast 
should have been to CharSequence? Anyway, the removed cast (the second, which 
cast to Object) is justified as it's indeed unnecessary.

bq. Also @SuppressWarnings("unused") is not a javac annotation

Are you sure? I have another project which compiles w/ javac and it works fine. 
I'll check it, but I trust you :).

About adding casts for clarity of code - I guess that's a matter of styling, 
but the cast is truly unnecessary, and just produces a warning. I would like 
the code to be free of those, but that's only my opinion.

> I would like to do some code cleanup and remove all sorts of trivial 
> warnings, like unnecessary casts, problems w/ javadocs, unused variables, 
> redundant null checks, unnecessary semicolon etc. These are all very trivial 
> and should not pose any problem.
> I'll create another issue for getting rid of deprecated code usage, like 
> LuceneTestCase and all sorts of deprecated constructors. That's also trivial 
> because it only affects Lucene code, but it's a different type of change.
> Another issue I'd like to create is about introducing more generics in the 
> code, where it's missing today - not changing existing API. There are many 
> places in the code like that.
> So, with you permission, I'll start with the trivial ones first, and then 
> move on to the others.
