Bug 81757

Description clifford lyon 2004-12-21 16:20:15 EST

Using:

 Version: 3.1.0
 Build id: 200412162000

I'm trying to build an Iterator<T> using 1.5 generics, but the compiler seems to
think the return type "E" from the Iterator interface is a real type.

Example:

import java.util.Iterator;
public class MyStringIterator implements Iterator<String> {
    public boolean hasNext() { return false; }
    public String next() { return null; }
    public void remove() {}
}

Gives two errors:

+ The type MyStringIterator must implement the inherited abstract method
Iterator.next()   

+ E cannot be resolved to a type

I also get this from the mouseover on "String next()":

Type safety: The return type String of the method next() of type
MyStringIterator needs unchecked conversion to conform to the return type E of
inherited method

So far, rest of the generics stuff has worked fine.
