I think these were previously not being compiled at all. Now, with
Buildship generating Eclipse ".project" settings automatically, these
are being processed. In general we don't care much about questionable
code in test data, though.

These are all things one might consider fixing in real application
data. Java code used as test inputs, though, serves a different
purpose. Weird code is generally acceptable or even intentional.
Along the way, I also converted many "for (;;)" loops into modern
"for (:)" loops. I didn't systematically look for all opportunities
to do this, though. I merely made this change where I was already
converting raw Iterator uses into modern Iterator<...> uses.
Better use of generics also allowed many casts to become statically
redundant. I have removed all such redundant casts.
Only three raw-types warnings remain after this batch of fixes. All
three involve raw uses of CallGraphBuilder. I've tried to fix these
too, but it quickly snowballs into a cascade of changes that may or
may not eventually reach a statically-type-save fixed point. I may
give these last few problem areas another go in the future. For now,
though, the hundreds of other fixes seem worth keeping even if there
are a few stragglers.
This commit may change some public APIs, but only by making weaker
type signatures stronger by replacing raw types with generic types.
For example, we may change something like "Set" into "Set<String>",
but we're not adding new arguments, changing any
underlying (post-generics-erasure) types, etc.
In the `com.ibm.wala.util` project, configure Eclipse to treat any
future violations of this as errors, not merely warnings.
However, in `com.ibm.wala.cast.java.test.data`, configure Eclipse to
silently ignore missing @Override annotations. The JLex code in this
project is machine-generated, and we don't have a way to get the
generator to produce @Override annotations.
Previously some of these were accessing such fields through a subclass
of the declaring class. That creates an unnecessary extra inter-class
dependency lower in the type hierarchy than necessary.
Also, suppress this warning in an automated test input where the
indirect static accesses are explicitly intentional.
This test code is intentionally crafted to use instances to access
static methods. Eclipse's recommendation to access those methods
directly is, therefore, counterproductive.
* Fixed bug for source analysis
Do while in case statement would throw an NPE. Now it doesn't
* Added test case
The test will fail with an NPE if the fix is not applied.
Often the easiest way to create a desired test scenario is to write
code that would make no sense in a complete, realistic application.
So we generally want to let test code do oddball things.
Fixing these Javadoc comments would require adding packages to various
other packages' build paths. In some of the cases suppressed,
changing build paths in that manner would create circular build
dependencies. In other cases, it would simply add a Javadoc-motivated
dependency that does not exist for the real code, which seems
undesirable. For a few cases, the reference seems to be to types in
code we don't even have here, such as code from "android" or
"org.mozilla" packages.
Note: some of these methods are decidedly nontrivial. Perhaps they
should not actually be removed? If any should be kept around, please
identify them to me. I'll revise this change to retain those methods
and simply annotate them as needed to suppress Eclipse's warning.
