databind/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/databind/codegen/IProduction.java (1)
100-106: NOPMD suppression comments remain despite PR claim of removal.Lines 100 and 106 contain NOPMD inline comments that contradict the stated PR objective to eliminate suppression comments:
- Line 100:
// NOPMD - no concurrency- Line 106:
// NOPMD - intentionalThese should be removed per the PR's stated goal of eliminating unnecessary PMD warning suppressions, or the PR summary should be corrected if these suppressions are intentionally retained.
core/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/core/metapath/function/ArgumentImpl.java (1)
36-47: Remove the@SuppressWarnings("null")annotation fromtoSignature().The
IArgumentinterface already declares@NonNullon the return type oftoSignature(). Per PR #618, duplicating SpotBugs nullability annotations on overrides when the superinterface declares the contract should be avoided. This suppression is redundant and can be removed.schemagen/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/schemagen/datatype/AbstractDatatypeManager.java (1)
29-29: Clarify the rationale for retaining the NOPMD suppression on line 29.If line 59's
// NOPMDsuppression was removed as part of this cleanup, the retention of// NOPMD - intentionalon line 29 should be explicitly justified. Either provide an explanation for why this suppression must remain, or remove it for consistency with the cleanup of line 59.
🧹 Nitpick comments (9)
databind/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/databind/metapath/function/Model.java (1)
72-78:@SuppressWarnings("unused")still looks unnecessary here—consider removing it (or justify why it’s needed).
executeis referenced byModel::executein theSIGNATUREbuilder (Line 48), so “unused” shouldn’t normally trigger.Proposed diff
- @SuppressWarnings("unused") @NonNull public static ISequence<?> execute( @NonNull IFunction function, @NonNull List<ISequence<?>> arguments, @NonNull DynamicContext dynamicContext, IItem focus) {core/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/core/metapath/function/library/FnAvg.java (2)
90-92: Keep an explanatory comment for thenullreturn (spec/encoding), even if suppressions are removed.Now that the NOPMD is gone, consider a brief non-suppression comment explaining that
nullencodes the empty sequence forfn:avg(and thatISequence.of(null)yields empty), to preserve intent for future readers.
153-164:@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")is correct, but consider narrowing the suppression scope.Switching from the PMD-specific suppression to Java’s
"unchecked"matches the actual warning being addressed. If you want to keep this tighter, you could scope the suppression to the cast/local instead of the whole method.databind/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/databind/AbstractModuleLoaderStrategy.java (1)
194-198: LGTM: Collapsed conditional improves readability.The combined condition correctly consolidates the logic and addresses the
CollapsibleIfStatementsstyle issue.Optional: The
isDebugEnabled()check is redundant with Log4j2's fluent API.Log4j2's
atDebug()method already performs level checking internally, so the explicitisDebugEnabled()guard is unnecessary:♻️ Simplified logging without redundant level check
- // FIXME: find existing causes of this in unit tests - if (old != null && !(definition.getContainingModule() instanceof MetaschemaModelModule) - && LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) { - LOGGER.atDebug().log("Replacing matcher for QName: {}", qname); + if (old != null && !(definition.getContainingModule() instanceof MetaschemaModelModule)) { + LOGGER.debug("Replacing matcher for QName: {}", qname); }The FIXME comment indicates investigation is needed for unit test scenarios. Would you like me to generate a script to search for relevant test cases or open an issue to track this investigation?
schemagen/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/schemagen/xml/impl/XmlCoreDatatypeProvider.java (1)
58-64: Consider using a Set for O(1) deduplication.The current implementation uses
dependencies.contains(value)on an ArrayList inside a loop, resulting in O(n²) complexity. While this likely processes small lists, using aHashSetfor deduplication would be more efficient:♻️ Proposed refactor using HashSet
- List<String> dependencies = new ArrayList<>(); + Set<String> seen = new HashSet<>(); + List<String> dependencies = new ArrayList<>(); for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) { String value = nodes.item(i).getNodeValue(); - if (value != null && !value.startsWith("xs:") && !dependencies.contains(value)) { + if (value != null && !value.startsWith("xs:") && seen.add(value)) { dependencies.add(value); } }Note:
Set.add()returnsfalseif the element was already present, providing efficient deduplication.core/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/core/datatype/markup/flexmark/impl/AbstractMarkupWriter.java (1)
265-273: Good suppression cleanup; consider narrowinguncheckedsuppression scope.Also, please confirm whether this repo’s Javadoc rules require adding/updating Javadoc when a private method is touched (guideline wording is broad). As per coding guidelines, ...
Proposed tweak: scope suppression to the cast
- @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") // while unused, keeping code for when inline HTML is supported private void writeHtml(Node node) throws E { Document doc = Jsoup.parse(node.getChars().toString()); try { doc.body().traverse(new MarkupNodeVisitor()); } catch (NodeVisitorException ex) { - throw (E) ex.getCause(); // NOPMD exception is wrapper + @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") + E cause = (E) ex.getCause(); // exception is wrapper + throw cause; } }databind/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/databind/model/impl/ConstraintSupport.java (1)
41-41: Consider investigating the remaining null suppressions in a future cleanup.Both
parsemethods retain@SuppressWarnings("null")annotations. Since Java annotation methods cannot return null (they return default values), these suppressions might be unnecessary. This would be a good candidate for verification in a follow-up PR focused on SpotBugs suppressions.If you'd like, I can help verify whether these suppressions are still needed by checking the SpotBugs behavior with annotation array methods.
Also applies to: 79-79
core/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/core/model/util/JsonUtil.java (1)
78-78: Remove the unnecessary@SuppressWarnings("null")annotations on these methods.These methods already declare explicit
@NonNullreturn types and always return non-null values:
- Line 78:
StringBuilder.toString()always returns non-null- Line 99:
StringBuilder.toString()always returns non-null- Line 420:
StringBuilderinstances are always non-nullModern SpotBugs versions infer nullability from explicit
@NonNullreturn types without requiring the suppression annotation. Since the return type contract is already documented, these suppressions are redundant.Also applies to: 99-99, 420-420
schemagen/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/schemagen/AbstractSchemaGenerator.java (1)
86-101: Potential ownership/leak mismatch:@Owning+AutoCloseablewriter is never closed (now suppressed).Local
@SuppressWarnings("resource")(Line 92) is a pragmatic way to silence the warning, but it also cements the “never closeschemaWriter” pattern even thoughT extends AutoCloseableandnewWriter(...)returns an@Owninginstance.Recommended direction: make
schemaWritercloseable without closing caller-ownedoutby wrappingoutin a “non-closing”Writer, then use try-with-resources and drop the suppression.Proposed refactor (keeps
outopen, closesschemaWriter)@@ @Override public void generateFromModule( IModule metaschema, Writer out, IConfiguration<SchemaGenerationFeature<?>> configuration) { try { // avoid automatically closing streams not owned by the generator - @SuppressWarnings("resource") - T schemaWriter = newWriter(out); - S generationState = newGenerationState(metaschema, schemaWriter, configuration); - generateSchema(generationState); - generationState.flushWriter(); + Writer nonClosingOut = new java.io.FilterWriter(out) { + @Override + public void close() throws java.io.IOException { + flush(); + } + }; + try (T schemaWriter = newWriter(nonClosingOut)) { + S generationState = newGenerationState(metaschema, schemaWriter, configuration); + generateSchema(generationState); + generationState.flushWriter(); + } } catch (SchemaGenerationException ex) { throw ex; } catch (Exception ex) { // NOPMD need to catch close exception throw new SchemaGenerationException(ex); } }If you prefer to keep the current pattern, please at least confirm that
T.close()would closeout(hence the intentional non-close), and that@SuppressWarnings("resource")is effective/needed with your compiler settings.

193-197: Make theFIXMEactionable (and consider richer debug context).The fluent

Learning: In Java, UncheckedIOException.getCause() is declared to return IOException. In methods that declare throws IOException, you can rethrow the underlying cause with throw e.getCause() where e is an UncheckedIOException, without a cast. Ensure the surrounding method signature includes throws IOException. This does not apply to other unchecked exceptions; verify that e is actually an UncheckedIOException before using this pattern.

Ensure all Java source files, including package-info.java under dev/metaschema/*, declare and align package statements with the path (e.g., package dev.metaschema.core.datatype;). This pattern applies to all Java files under the dev/metaschema namespace.

Learning: When overriding methods whose nullability contract is already declared in a superinterface or superclass (e.g., IMetapathQueryable#getNodeItem()), do not duplicate SpotBugs nullability annotations on the overriding method. Rely on the inherited annotation to convey nullability. Apply this consistently across the Java codebase (e.g., in core/metaschema/core/metapath/format) to avoid annotation duplication and keep tooling output clean. If the contract is not established in the parent, annotate explicitly on the override as needed.

54-63: LGTM! Clean suppression removal.The removal of NOPMD comments from the
equalsmethod is appropriate. The implementation follows standard Java best practices for equals/hashCode, and the logic is straightforward. The removal of@SuppressWarnings("null")fromtoSignature(mentioned in the summary) is also valid since all field accesses are on@NonNullmembers.schemagen/src/main/java/dev/metaschema/schemagen/xml/impl/XmlCoreDatatypeProvider.java (2)
18-18: LGTM!The new imports are correctly placed and necessary for the deduplication logic introduced in the
analyzeDependenciesmethod.Also applies to: 22-22
60-60: Add explicit test coverage for the deduplication behavior.The implementation using
HashSet<String>to deduplicate dependency values is sound and idiomatic. However, no explicit test was found that verifies this deduplication behavior, even though it represents a functional change to the method's semantics.The
analyzeDependenciesmethod is private and can only be tested indirectly throughhandleResults()or integration tests. WhileXmlSuiteTestexercises this code path as part of full schema generation, it does not explicitly verify that duplicate@baseattribute values are properly filtered. Per the TDD guidelines in the coding standards, add a unit test that explicitly verifies duplicates are deduplicated correctly.
