Description Daniel Le Berre

2010-05-09 02:18:25 EDT

I have a few examples of JUnit tests cases for SAT4J that inherit a custom TestCase class. See e.g. that one:

http://www.sat4j.org/maven21/org.sat4j.core/xref-test/index.html

I use the automatic organize import on save action.

If I remove the 

import junit.framework.TestCase;

statement in the code, organize import will add it on save.

When I compile that code using eclipse compiler, I got a warning that the import is not used.

I guess that such issue has been around for a while (at least one year).
I just noticed it today.

I am running

Version: 3.6.0
Build id: I20100426-0852

on Linux GTK2/64.

It looks like TestCase is used in Javadoc and hence if Javadoc processing is enabled (Java > Compiler > Javadoc) it will add the import. Of course if you then compile it without that option enabled then it will complain about the import.
