Description Tom Huybrechts

Created attachment 131589 [details]
project

The code for Hudson (https://hudson.dev.java.net) compiles with javac, but not with JDT. 

The problem is a method like this:
   public static <T> ExtensionList<T> create(Hudson hudson, Class<T> type)
that exists in a class and its subclass.

When a third class refers to both methods, the reference to the static method in the subclass causes a compile error:

The method create(Hudson, Class) is ambiguous for the type  DescriptorExtensionList	

I added the minimal code to reproduce this problem in an attachment.

Reproduced with 3.4.2

But it works fine with the 3.5M6 build

Tom - please try your complete project with the 3.5M6 build and reopen this bug if it fails for you.
