Compiler warnings in eclipse [message #196623] Tue, 27 February 2007 15:02 Go to next message

I don't know the lingo, so I don't know how to search for the answer.

Using the latest and greatest Eclipse and Java.

When I compile, I get several icons (annotations?) on the left side of the
source window. This will be, for a warning, a little lightbulb with an
exclamation mark.

I'd prefer not to be notified of some of these warnings.

How do I turn them off on a by-type basis? Case in point, the "is hiding
a field from type" warning.

Thanks muchly,
Tony

Take a look at the Java preferences (either in Project Properties, to
control it on a project-by-project basis, or in Window Preferences, for the
whole workspace). It's under Compiler -> Errors and Warnings. There are
dozens and dozens of 'em.

You can also shut down warnings for just one specific method or class,
by using @SuppressWarnings("myspecificwarning"), see
