Yes, our analysis is written independently of Javac (mostly by Anna Kozlova) and we had a long history of false-positives/false-negatives in this inspection, so it was tuned many times. It's not nearly simple. For now, it's turned on for the whole IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate repository (a warning causes the CI build to fail). I've found only five explicit suppressions in our codebase. Not sure if all of them are still necessary. > > ------------- > > PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5454
