Definition of the function returns a value but is not defined as a view function.

[WillMandrill]

Hello

I have this very simple Smart Contract:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
pragma solidity >=0.4.16 <0.7.0;

contract SimpleStorage {
    uint storedData;

    function set(uint x) public {
        storedData = x;
    }

    function get() public view returns (uint) {
        return storedData;
    }
}

When I compite with java maven

org.web3j
web3j-maven-plugin
4.5.11

I get this warnings:
[WARNING] Definition of the function get returns a value but is not defined as a view function. Please ensure it contains the view modifier if you want to read the return value
[INFO] Built Class for contract 'SimpleStorage'

Why this happens, it is clearly defined as public view

Can anybody help?

Thank you

Will

Which version of Solidity compiler are you using? These warnings are printed by solc not the plugin itself.

We are soon going to release a new plugin version that will probably fix this using the right solc version.
