@SupportedLintOptions(value="dotequals")
public final class InterningChecker
extends BaseTypeChecker

A typechecker plug-in for the Interned qualifier that finds (and verifies the absence of) equality-testing and interning errors.

The Interned annotation indicates that a variable refers to the canonical instance of an object, meaning that it is safe to compare that object using the "==" operator. This plugin warns whenever "==" is used in cases where one or both operands are not Interned. Optionally, it suggests using "==" instead of ".equals" where possible.
