This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
See UI proposal issue 10. When you're automatically removing an unused field or method, it might have had javadoc. This should be removed too - IF it is safe to do so. See nbui discussion (soon to be integrated into the proposal).
This has been fixed - both for unused fields and unused methods. The javadoc being deleted is shown in the confirmation dialog.
