Compiled and ran just fine. Then I noticed that ???Class??? is being used as
a raw type.

There doesn???t seem to be any option in javac to warn about this sort of
thing.

Have you tried:

% javac
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
where possible options include:
  ...
  -X Print a synopsis of nonstandard options

% javac -X
  -Xlint Enable recommended warnings
  -Xlint:{all,cast,deprecation,divzero,empty,unchecked,fallthrough,path,serial,finally,overrides,-cast,-deprecation,-divzero,-empty,
-unchecked,-fallthrough,-path,-serial,-finally,-overrides,none}Enable or
disable specific warnings

ldo@theon:java_try> cat test.java
class test
  {
    public static void main(String[] args)
      {
        Class s = String.class;
      } /*main*/
  }
ldo@theon:java_try> javac -Xlint test.java
ldo@theon:java_try> javac -Xlint:deprecation test.java
ldo@theon:java_try> javac -Xlint:all test.java
ldo@theon:java_try>

No warnings.

Any other suggestions?
