Description in-ws5 2015-08-03 07:52:38 UTC 
The following code in java will print "true" in the console when compiled and run in netbeans.

public class Simple {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        boolean var1 = true;
        if (var1 |= false) {
            System.out.println(var1);
        }
    }
}

However, the editor shows the hint "The branch is never used" on the line with the if statement.
