This method is legal according to the JLS (15.12.2.8) and compiles with 3.1.0: public List<? extends String> getList() { return Collections.emptyList(); } In 3.1.1 build M20050929-0840 it gives the following error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from List<Object> to List<? extends String> If the method returns List<String> there is no problem.
