[FIXED] turn off javac warnings

Issue

I have a problem: I have to create a project for my studies. In the requirements I have a information that the whole project should be created in two files A.java and B.java.

The problem of project is complicated so I have created some helpfull class called e.x. MyClass. I put this class inside A.java - I cannot use another file.

Right now my A.java looks like that:

public class A {
 // some logic
}

final class MyClass implements Comparable<MyClass> {
    //some logic    
}

In the B.java I am using objects of MyClass and everything is working correctly.

The problem is with the second requirement of project. The automatic compilation - after I will send my project to my university - starts the proccess like that:

javac –Xlint B.java A.java

Compilation is successfull but I have some warnings:

B.java:17: warning: auxiliary class MyClass in A.java should not be accessed from outside its own source file
    private MyClass variable;

The third requirement says that if you have any warnings or errors, your project will not be assessed. So I will fail my project if the warnings appears.

I know this is very stupid to store two classes in one file but this is unversity - here everything is stupid...

So - is there any solution to turn off warnings during compilation with javac? I tried this:

@SuppressWarnings("all")
final class MyClass implements Comparable<MyClass> {

but it doesn`t work - I still get the warnings...

Any ideas? :)

Solution

Put MyClass inside A:

public class A {
 // some logic

  static final class MyClass implements Comparable<MyClass> {
      //some logic    
  }
}

and refer to it as A.MyClass from the other file.

Or import it (assuming A isn't in the default package), and refer to it as MyClass.

Or defining it in its own file would be the obvious option; but you say you can't do that.
