remove unnecessary casts

[stephan-herrmann]

When https://github.com/eclipse-jdt/eclipse.jdt.core/pull/2471 is merged, ecj will signal more casts as unnecessary.

With this PR I suggest to remove affected casts before new warnings will show up in the build.

I restarted it.

[stephan-herrmann]

@merks I'm stuck here, again timeout .. or did I miss another version bump or such?

Perhaps SWT build requires a more gentle push :)

Reading the meaning in the tea leaves is an art not a science.

Thanks, I got lost on some of those click paths :)

BTW, perhaps I should have seen the need for each and every version bump already in Eclipse, but somehow my oomph'ed SDK workspace showed lots of API problems already before I started making changes. Perhaps my Modular API Baseline has gone stale, although it says Platform is 2024-06 ... nevermind ...

Reading the meaning in the tea leaves is an art not a science.

I like them all:

• reading
• meaning
• tea leaves
• art
• science

You do need to pull all git repos and perform setup tasks regularly. The api baseline update always seems particularly error prone. Sometimes I delete it to ensure a new updated one is created.

In any case, the horrible baseline qualify problems are never reported by that api tools. You learn to anticipate them by checking if the version has been incremented in the current release cycle when you change something that will change the byte code. Or wait for endless build cycles.

Restarted build.

It’s not even the dreaded killed because you used too much memory error.

I don’t think you get thanked nearly enough. I think we take it for granted that you work in the background to grease the wheels that keep everything running smoothly. 🏆
