For the curious, yes, the additional checks do generate additional warnings. ;-)

This change is targeted at the JDK 9 repos but could be backported to JDK 8 fairly easily/safely. Mike

All dev &/or build environments in which I've worked require that compilation is clean i.e. self-evidently no errors and definitely no warnings, so if warnings are expected in the build, is there a definition/listing of them in order that they (the expected warnings) may be safely discounted, thus allowing effort to be concentrated on those that are unwanted/unexpected?
