Preview Feature warning

Warning
New
Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports usages of Preview Feature APIs, i.e. of a module, package, class, interface, method, constructor, field, or enum constant in the java.* or javax.* namespace annotated with @PreviewFeature.

A preview feature is a new feature of the Java language, Java Virtual Machine, or Java SE API that is fully specified, fully implemented, and is yet impermanent. The notion of a preview feature is defined in JEP 12.

If some piece of code depends on a preview API, it may stop compiling in future JDK versions if the feature is changed or removed.

The inspection only reports if the language level of the project or module is Preview.
