What is the list of valid @SuppressWarnings warning names in Java?

The bit that comes in between the ("") in @SuppressWarnings("").

Answer 1

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.
