Simple Inspection Tool Problem

If someone could suggest how to accomplish this alternative fix it would be good.


@SomeAnnotation(method = "foo")
<modifiers> foo()
{
}

I want to create a reference from <foo()> to <method = "foo">. I can make a reference the other way - from annotation to method, but not backwards.

Hello Vadim,

The Java PSI doesn't support adding references to arbitrary elements, as
it could break the semantics of many of IDEA's own operations.

If someone could suggest how to accomplish this alternative fix it
would be good.

@SomeAnnotation(method = "foo")
<modifiers> foo()
{
}
I want to create a reference from <foo()> to <method = "foo">. I can
make a reference the other way - from annotation to method, but not
backwards.

Hello Vadim,

See the ImplicitUsageProvider API.

I'm writing a simple custom inspection tool using
BaseJavaLocalInspectionTool for the basis.

So far all is well, I create a JavaElementVisitor and register
problems as required, but what I've been struggling

with is this:

We want to disable unused method warning when we know that this method
will be called via reflection.

In fact I even have annotation in the same class that holds method
name.

What would be the right way to suppress default inspection or do some
other trick to make it happen?

I can't figure out what to do to PsiMethod, nothing I tried so far
worked

Hehe, I see... had to find out the hard way :) At least now it's clear why my attempts were futle.
Thanks for clearing that up

Yep, that works! Cheers man!

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks again for your help!

Didn't want to create another thread for what is probably a small issue.
Suppose we're examining annotation @SomeAnnotation(foo = "bar"),
I'm interested in the value of parameter foo. So far I only thought of the case where foo is assigned from a string literal directly.
But I can't seem to be able to resolve value of the following @SomeAnnotation(foo = SomeClass.NestedClass.....StaticVariable)

Could you point me to the right direction?

Ok, to answer my own question: this works .resolve().getInitializer()
