Build Identifier: Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857

Here is a sample code: 

public class Remove
{
    public void foo()
    {
        byte value;
        value = (byte) getInt();
    }
    
    long getInt()
    {
        return 2;
    }
}

I have turned on settings in Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save Actions -> Additional Actions[x] -> Configure -> Unnecessary Code -> Remove unused local variables [x]. 

And when I save the file, it generates code like this, where I get syntax error on line that has "(byte) getInt();". 

public class Remove
{
    public void foo()
    {
        (byte) getInt();
    }
    
    long getInt()
    {
        return 2;
    }
}

Note that writing the code like this:
byte value = (byte) getInt();

Generates output that compiles.
