What means an '!' at eclipse?

Question

I'm programming in Java with Eclipse, and after a time appears a

'!'

in some class. What's that means?

A little more context, please? Where does this appear? Can you click on it? — McGlone, Mar 14 '14 at 14:48
'!' means a `not`, if ur talking about booleans. _This is not a good question_ could be stated as `!good_Question`. — Hungry Blue Dev, Mar 14 '14 at 14:48
Is this in the code? Or a marker? Or in the package explorer? — Thomas Owens, Mar 14 '14 at 14:49
Put your mouse pointer over it and wait a bit (don't click). An explanatory balloon will show. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, Mar 14 '14 at 14:53

Perhaps it is...

a warning icon . then your code requires requires review.
build path error icon - check your build dependencies

Exclamation mark in Eclipse means that Eclipse has detected some fault in your code but it has not been deemed critical enough to be marked as an error (Red color X marker) so it displays it instead as a yellow exclamation mark Signifying it as a warning not an error.

It means that line was never used in the code like any import or variables.
