One of the built-in annotations in Java 5 is SuppressWarnings. You can use this annotation on all the available annotation levels (class, field, method, constructor, local variable, etc) to suppress warnings that might be generated by a compiler.

Was confused a while ago, going from compiler to compiler, so did some digging on my own as well:

When do we get SuppressError? Would be very handy when not catching a checked exception or when you comment out a line of code which throws an exception, and now you also have to comment out all the catch code in order to satisfy the compiler. Stupid javac, should've been an unreachable code warning instead.
