     32  * Indicates that the named compiler warnings should be suppressed in the

     34  * element).  Note that the set of warnings suppressed in a given element is
     35  * a superset of the warnings suppressed in all containing elements.  For
     36  * example, if you annotate a class to suppress one warning and annotate a
     37  * method to suppress another, both warnings will be suppressed in the method.

     40  * on the most deeply nested element where it is effective.  If you want to
     41  * suppress a warning in a particular method, you should annotate that
     42  * method rather than its class.
