Solution

  • It depends on your IDE or compiler.

    Here is a list for Eclipse Galileo:

    • all to suppress all warnings
    • boxing to suppress warnings relative to boxing/unboxing operations
    • cast to suppress warnings relative to cast operations
    • dep-ann to suppress warnings relative to deprecated annotation
    • deprecation to suppress warnings relative to deprecation
    • fallthrough to suppress warnings relative to missing breaks in switch statements
    • finally to suppress warnings relative to finally block that don’t return
    • hiding to suppress warnings relative to locals that hide variable
    • incomplete-switch to suppress warnings relative to missing entries in a switch statement (enum case)
    • nls to suppress warnings relative to non-nls string literals
    • null to suppress warnings relative to null analysis
    • restriction to suppress warnings relative to usage of discouraged or forbidden references
    • serial to suppress warnings relative to missing serialVersionUID field for a serializable class
    • static-access to suppress warnings relative to incorrect static access
    • synthetic-access to suppress warnings relative to unoptimized access from inner classes
    • unchecked to suppress warnings relative to unchecked operations
    • unqualified-field-access to suppress warnings relative to field access unqualified
    • unused to suppress warnings relative to unused code

    List for Indigo adds:

    • javadoc to suppress warnings relative to javadoc warnings
    • rawtypes to suppress warnings relative to usage of raw types
    • static-method to suppress warnings relative to methods that could be declared as static
    • super to suppress warnings relative to overriding a method without super invocations

    List for Juno adds:

    • resource to suppress warnings relative to usage of resources of type Closeable
    • sync-override to suppress warnings because of missing synchronize when overriding a synchronized method

    Kepler and Luna use the same token list as Juno (list).

    Others will be similar but vary.
