Bug 105278

Description drsoong 2005-07-27 04:43:20 EDT

An Unhandled Exception error is reported by the gui instead of a Type-safety
warning in the following code:

----
package test;

import test.SomeOtherClass.SomeException;

public class SomeClass<T> {
    
    public SomeClass() throws SomeOtherClass.SomeException {
        throw new SomeOtherClass.SomeException();
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // reports uncaught exception compiler error
        try {
            SomeClass<String> x = new SomeClass();
            System.out.println(x.hashCode());
        } catch (SomeException e) {
        }

        // reports type safety warning
        try {
            SomeClass<String> x = new SomeClass();
            System.out.println(x.hashCode());
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }

        // correct
        try {
            SomeClass<String> x = new SomeClass<String>();
            System.out.println(x.hashCode());
        } catch (SomeException e) {
        }

    }
}
