Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

Within the attached (SimpleLogonModule.java), a validation indicates that variable is never read locally (line 94; see scr.GIF).  However, this is read within the constructor (Line 22).



Reproducible: Sometimes

The given source is empty. Note that we changed that wording in 3.7 and 4.1.

Well, it's too late, sorry because I deleted the local copy of the source code (which is a RAR file that reads a size of 82.02Kb on this bug reporting forum).  Is it not accessible?

In any case I started over, and, simply added the following lines to my code, and, no warnings or errors were reported this time.  

This is thought to be an intermittent error that might have required an exact copy of my environment at the time to reproduce, however it is not practical for me to send my laptop by courier :)
