Methods Integer.parseInt/Boolean.parseBoolean should be preferred over Integer.valueOf/Boolean.valueOf/ if final result is primitive.
They are generally faster and generate less garbage.

StringBuffer is a legacy synchronized class. StringBuilder is a direct replacement to StringBuffer which generally have better performance.

This was required by the Eclipse team as one precondition for the next
release.

Reports on declarations of Collection variables made by using the collection class as the type, rather than an appropriate interface.

Reports Collection.addAll() and Map.putAll() calls after instantiation of a collection using a constructor call without arguments. Such constructs can be replaced with a single call to a parametrized constructor which simplifies code. Also for some collections the replacement might be more performant.

Reports "unboxing", e.g. explicit unwrapping of wrapped primitive values. Unboxing is unnecessary under Java 5 and newer, and can be safely removed.

Reports explicit boxing, i.e. wrapping of primitive values in objects. Explicit manual boxing is unnecessary under Java 5 and newer, and can be safely removed.

Reports for loops which iterate over collections or arrays, and can be replaced with an enhanced for loop (i.e. the foreach iteration syntax).

removed unused imports, local variables, and private methods
(still there, just commented out).
