Still reproducable in 6.8 Beta. This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss Still reproducable in current dev build. |
Example: class Outer { private static final class Nested { private Nested(int n) { } public static Nested getInstance(int n) { return new Nested(n); } } } The Nested class should be highlighted as unused, because there is no call to the static method getInstance() within the Outer class. When removing the getInstance() method definition, the Nested class is correctly highlighted as unused. Note that while the getInstance() method is public in Nested, it is still private in Outer because Nested is private in Outer. As the method is static, it's also not possible for it to be invoked through a super type. (NB 6.7.1)
