[udig-devel] A-ha I found it. Back to the future part Java 5

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I started looking into annotations today, and found a totally sensible
use for them. At least it made sense as soon as I found them.

>   /**
>    * Normal pre-1.5 method body
>    */
>   @SuppressWarnings(value={"unchecked"})
>   public void nonGenericsMethod() {
>     List wordList = new ArrayList();
>
>     wordList.add("foo");
>   }


What this allows you to do is place a compiler hint next to the code
where you wish to ignore a warning.

Java 5 - welcome to the 1970s.

Jody out.
