Description
public class CastTest
{
publicstatic void main (String[] args) throws CloneNotSupportedException
{
CastTest ct1 = new CastTest ();

I found the same problem. Here is my example.
BTW you should edit the title from "Reundant" to "Redundant" because I didn't find this Jira when I searched initially.
TestRedundantCast.java
package org.intellij;
import java.util.*;
/**
* User: Alex
*/
public class TestRedundantCast
{
void test() {
Iterator it = ((List) Arrays.asList("1", "2","3")).iterator();
}
}
If I Introduce variable for the List expression, then the redundant type cast will be flagged.
TestRedundantCast.java-After Introduce Variable
package org.intellij;
import java.util.*;
/**
* User: Alex
*/
public class TestRedundantCast
{
void test() {
List list = (List) Arrays.asList("1", "2", "3");
Iterator it = list.iterator();
}
}
Similarly for Gibson's example, if you Introduce variable for the expression ((CastTest)ctl) first, then the reduandant type cast will be flagged.
