You are right, i could delete @UiField aboutLink in my Java class

But i think you are missing the point: IntelliJ incrorrectly marks `JespersHyperLink.setTextAndTitle()` as being unused.

I think that is incorrect: JespersHyperLink.setTextAndTitle() is used in the UiBinder files. So IntelliJ should mark it as used. AND “find usages” should show the usage in uibinder file.

Hello Jesper.

If aboutlink is not invoked from Java code, it may still exists in ui.xml (with or without ui:field binding) with setters called there. So aboutlink field is really unused and could be deleted.

While the UiBinder support you describe here works perfectly, there is still one important issue that IntelliJ has yet to support:

It seems that methods invoked via UiBinders are marked as unused.
For instance, you have a field declared (in java file):

@UiBinder
JespersHyperLink aboutlink;

And imagine that the JespersHyperLink class has a `setTextAndTitle(String s)` metod. UiBinder syntax allows you to call setters directly from the .ui.xml file on instantiation, which is a good way for me to keep java class size down.

Unfortunately, the code inspection grays out the metod and postulates it’s unused.

This is very wrong. Do you have focus on correcting this behaviour?

Do you have GWT facet in your module?

I have 9.0.2 but this integration doesn’t seem to be working for me. How do I activate it?

thanks
