I just had a look at some of the source code of the Java package in the GNU gcc version 4.4.0 snapshot 20081114 gcc-4.4-20081114/libjava/classpath/gnu/xml/aelfred2/XmlParser.java:3205 Avoid unused local variables such as 'ampRead'. I have checked the source code and I agree. Suggest remove set but not used local variable, especially since it is written to for each character read.
Source code gone.
No, this is a Classpath bug. Stop closing them! http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/classpath.git/log/
