Set i for the hell of it

Minkey

it's little but still gave me a chuckle:

public void setParameter(ParameterConfig argConfig) {
    if("".equalsIgnoreCase(argConfig.getName())) {
        int i = ConfigUtils.toInt(argConfig.getValue());
    }
    super.setParameter(argConfig);
}

When I asked the person that wrote it why he said "I don't know, the guy told me to copy it from another class so I did."

Everytime I see some class named like ConfigUtils (or anything else with "utils" in its name), I feel a cold chill down my spine.

I get that same feeling everytime I see a project with a reference to a library named something like masterbootrecord.dll or biosservices.dll. You'd be surprised how many times I've found old projects at my work with random references like the above.
