Description
@SuppressWarnings annotations that don't actually suppress any warnings create a potential pathway for future bugs to creep in unnoticed. They should be removed if possible.

Similarly, any -Xlint:-foo command line options that don't actually suppress any warnings should also be removed. 

This issue is an "umbrella" issue.
