It depends on your IDE or compiler.

Here is a list for Eclipse Galileo:

  • all to suppress all warnings
  • boxing to suppress warnings relative to boxing/unboxing operations
  • cast to suppress warnings relative to cast operations
  • dep-ann to suppress warnings relative to deprecated annotation
  • deprecation to suppress warnings relative to deprecation
  • fallthrough to suppress warnings relative to missing breaks in switch statements
  • finally to suppress warnings relative to finally block that don’t return
  • hiding to suppress warnings relative to locals that hide variable
  • incomplete-switch to suppress warnings relative to missing entries in a switch statement (enum case)
  • nls to suppress warnings relative to non-nls string literals
  • null to suppress warnings relative to null analysis
  • restriction to suppress warnings relative to usage of discouraged or forbidden references
  • serial to suppress warnings relative to missing serialVersionUID field for a serializable class
  • static-access to suppress warnings relative to incorrect static access
  • synthetic-access to suppress warnings relative to unoptimized access from inner classes
  • unchecked to suppress warnings relative to unchecked operations
  • unqualified-field-access to suppress warnings relative to field access unqualified
  • unused to suppress warnings relative to unused code

List for Indigo adds:

  • javadoc to suppress warnings relative to javadoc warnings
  • rawtypes to suppress warnings relative to usage of raw types
  • static-method to suppress warnings relative to methods that could be declared as static
  • super to suppress warnings relative to overriding a method without super invocations

List for Juno adds:

  • resource to suppress warnings relative to usage of resources of type Closeable
  • sync-override to suppress warnings because of missing synchronize when overriding a synchronized method

Kepler and Luna use the same token list as Juno (list).

Others will be similar but vary.
