Findbugs Warnings ----------------- Key: HHH-4971 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4971 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.5.0.Beta-1 Reporter: Marco Tulio Valente Priority: Minor Dear all, We are conducting a study about the relevance of the warnings reported by the FindBugs tool when executed over several open-source systems. Particularly, in the case of Hibernate, we would like to confirm the relevance of the following warning reported by the tool (for version 3.5.0.beta1): Location: org.hibernate.engine.StatefulPersistenceContext getNaturalIdSnapshot - Line: 298 Warning: Using pointer equality to compare different types. The method uses using pointer equality to compare two references that seem to be of different types. The result of this comparison will always be false at runtime. Since this warning seemed relevant to us, we would like to confirm our classification with Hibernate's developers.
