Description _ gtzabari 2012-11-30 23:01:11 UTC

A method that returns com.google.common.collect.ImmutableCollection (or its subclasses) should not the "return of Collection field" warning since there is no thread-safety risk.

Comment 1 _ gtzabari 2012-11-30 23:03:28 UTC

Perhaps a better approach would be to convince the Guava project to mark up their classes using @Immutable (JSR305) and scan for that instead? Let me know what you think.

Comment 2 _ gtzabari 2012-11-30 23:05:23 UTC

There is also @ThreadSafe (Immutable implies thead-safe but I think you'd have to scan for both annotations separately).
