Is there a way to suppress the “The type (…) collides with a package” warning in Eclipse?

Question

This question is closely related to java-class-name-same-as-the-nested-package-name . My specific question here is: How can I disable/suppress that warning in Eclipse?

Some remarks:

• I cannot change the code, it's a pattern widely used by Jenkins.
• It seems the Java Language Specification (JLS) allows it - anyway javac doesn't mark it as error.
• The reason for the warning is that a class and a resource folder have the same name (I am not sure if a resource folder establishes a package according to JLS).
• I want to get that warning away because it hides other warnings.

Answer 1

Unfortunately it's not currently possible to disable that warning in Eclipse. There is an open feature request to make it possible , however it has had no action since 2012.

Answer 2

For Jenkins plugins, since there are no resources to compile in src/main/resources, in Eclipse, I toggled the 'Ignore optional compile problems' to Yes. That will remove the warning.
