How to suppress the proprietary API warning for sun.reflect.Reflection?

Cannot stop ant from generating compiler warnings

How to suppress this warning:

sun.reflect.Reflection is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release

using @SuppressWarnings in Oracles javac (1.6)?

According to this blog using "all" should work but it does not. Does anybody know the correct string?

Solution

  • Try adding the

    -XDignore.symbol.file

    option to the javac command line

    hope this helps

    EDIT REF : OPENJDK

    EXAMPLE 6

    To compile your source you can either use the javac from JDK7 with -source 1.6 -target 1.6, or run the javac from your patched JDK6 with -XDignore.symbol.file=true. This flag is necessary because javac uses a symbol file to determine packages in the com/sun namespace and will not recognize the new sctp classes as they are not in this symbol file.
