XLint

[Francois Lionet]

Hello all,

I have a big project with more than 700 files. I work under Netbeans. When I
compile them I get a message saying that "Some input files use unchecked or
unsafe operations." and I am told to recompile with the "-XLint:unchecked"
to know more.
OK, but I cannot find where to put this operator, I have looked in the ant
file properties and no success. Can someone tell me where I can use this
operator and findout what is wrong with my source code?
Thanks in advance,

Francois

In the Projects view, right-click your project and
open its Properties. Expand the Build tree (if it isn't
already expanded) and click on Compiling. Add all your
favorite javac options in the box in the right-hand side.
Click OK. Recompile.

There is no such option. Do you mean the "-Xlint" option?

It's not an operator, it's a command-line option to the javac compiler.

It's not a file property, it's a command-line option to the javac compiler.

You have mixed generic and raw types in your code. Did you google for "Java
unhecked operations"?

You can either not mix raw types and generics, not always possible, or use
@SuppressWarnings to get rid of the message if you're doing it on purpose.
