What's new
- It handles nls tags within commented code
- It handles multiple nls tags
- nls tags are ignored in isolated line comments like:
...
// System.out.println(""); //$NON-NLS-1$
... - Other nls comments are reported as unnecessary if they don't match a corresponding string literal
- The tool removes the unnecessary nls tags even if the line comment is used for another comment:
becomes:String s = "Hello, World"; //$NON-NLS-1$ don'//$NON-NLS-2$ removedString s = "Hello, World"; //$NON-NLS-1$ don' removed - It also removes the trailing whitespace when the nls tag is the only comment on a line.
becomes:String s = null; //$NON-NLS-1$<end of line>String s = null;<end of line>
