The answer is that it's not worth changing because (b) this would cause legacy to to start failing to compile, which is violates Java's stellar reputation for backward compatibility, and (b) there is already a perfectly reasonable workaround, i.e. <span style="font-family:monospace">-Xlint:static -Werror</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">.</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm not arguing that the original request should be implemented and break existing code (bad as they are). However, this suggestion doesn't really work, because javac doesn't support different sets of values for `Werror` and for mere warnings. That is, I usually want to turn on almost everything for `Xlint` , but I definitely don't want every warning to be an error (most notably, I don't want `@deprecated` to immediately fail compilation, but I want it to be reported as a warning).</div></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Exactly my thoughts. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">With best regards,</div><div dir="auto">Tagir Valeev </div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
