Dear all,

We are conducting an study about the relevance of the warnings reported by the 
FindBugs tool when executed over several open-source systems.

Particularly, in the case of OpenOffice, we would like to confirm the relevance 
of the following warnings reported by the tool (for OpenOffice 2.4.0):

** Location: com.sun.star.wizards.common.Configuration set - Line 120
Warning: Method assigns boolean literal in boolean expression. This method 
assigns a literal boolean value (true or false) to a boolean variable inside an 
if or while expression. Most probably this was supposed to be a boolean 
comparison using ==, not an assignment using =.

** Location: com.sun.star.wizards.common.NumberFormatter convertStringToNumber - 
Line 131.
Warning: An apparent infinite recursive loop. This method unconditionally 
invokes itself. This would seem to indicate an infinite recursive loop that will 
result in a stack overflow.

** Location:com.sun.star.wizards.form.FormDocument getControlForms - Line 263
Warning: Impossible cast. This cast will always throw a ClassCastException. 

** Location: com.sun.star.wizards.form.StyleApplier getStyleColor - Line 281
Warning: Method ignores return value. The return value of this method should be 
checked. One common cause of this warning is to invoke a method on an immutable 
object, thinking that it updates the object. 


Since these warnings seemed relevant to us, we would like to confirm our 
classification with OpenOffice's developers.

Best regards,
