Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201211150001) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_09 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.5-b02 NetBeans must be able to notify user that he is doing comparision between two constants that will never be true. For instance, consider the following code: /** Example with String **/ String acao = request.getParameter("action"); if("doSave".equals("acao")) { // this line should be marked - will never be true. // do somethig when true - that means, never! } /** Example with Integer **/ Integer i = Integer.valueOf(5); if(i.equals(new Integer(8))) { // this line should be marked - will never be true. // do somethig when true - that means, never! } /** Example with BigDecimal **/ BigDecimal d1 = new BigDecimal("10.0"); BigDecimal d2 = new BigDecimal("20.0"); if(d1.compareTo(d2)==0) { // this line should be marked - will never be true. // do somethig when true - that means, never! } /** end of examples **/ Even if only the first case (string comparision) is covered, then it will be great.
