False Positive - Web:AvoidCommentedOutCodeCheck with JSF @elvariable with SonarLint

Clean Code Report False-positive / False-negative...

Using SonarLint 6.3.1.40498 in Intellij IDEA 2021.3.1

Issue I’m running into is the following lines, which are generated by Intellij as an annotation to mark variables used in the JSF/XHTML template file and their types.

<!--@elvariable id="id" type="java.lang.String"-->
<!--@elvariable id="label" type="java.lang.String"-->
<!--@elvariable id="required" type="java.lang.Boolean"-->

It’s actually identical in usage as this post I found for Thymeleaf: https://community.sonarsource.com/t/false-positive-web-avoidcommentedoutcodecheck-in-thymeleaf-template/48716

Indeed you are right, we should not raise an issue in this case. I created a ticket to track this problem.

Keep’em coming. :wink:
