> Key: CASSANDRA-18239
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18239
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Jacek Lewandowski
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> Eclipse warnings is used for static code analysis. However, it does not fit
> well into Cassandra code and practically we end up explicitly adding
> suppressions in many places just to satisfy that tool rather than fix the
> real issues.
> This is an incomplete list of reasons to remove it:
> - not closed resources are detected incorrectly
> - does not recognize custom utility methods used to close the resources,
> which use use heavily in the code, like {{{}Throwables.close{}}},
> {{{}FileUtils.close{}}}, {{{}closeQuietly{}}}...
> - because of the above, we cannot make important things like {{Ref}} to
> implement {{Closeable}} as it would make the tool to explode with tons of
> warnings
> - it complains about correct generics - something like "method X is not
> applicable for ..." when the code compiles successfully is not acceptable
> - it is old and not maintained
> There are better tools like IntelliJ inspections for example, which can also
> be run in headless mode
> As agreed on the [dev mailing
> list|https://lists.apache.org/thread/8ok01odwx79crxw45cnfh0n1j4nsf9cp] we
> will replace it in trunk with CheckerFramework.
