Warning: modified in the future

Question

I am getting the warning

Warning: sendmailpm.jsp modified in the future. 

What does this mean?

Answer 1

I had this error too, but after reading some answers above i realized that is was due to the change i've done in the computer to some days ahead because of the test of a functionality that requires date manipulation.

Here is what happened:

1 - To perform Unit Test of a new implemented functionality i had to set the computer date to 4 days in the future.

2 - When i performed the test the compiler compiled the class automatically, as expected.

3 - Therefore when i was trying to rebuild the project the IDE detected that the file was (ironically) created in the future. (LoL - that's why i love Java you can even code in the future.).

So +1 @jmanning2k.

I hope it can help somebody facing this issue.
