Bug 86179

Description Kory Markevich 2005-02-22 13:36:00 EST

Under 3.1M5a, the following code:

class Base< T > {
    class InnerBase {
        java.util.List< String > list;
    }
}

class Derived extends Base< Integer > {
    class InnerDerived extends InnerBase {
        void method( )
        {
            list.add( "Hi" ); // Warning on this method call
        }
    }
}

Produces the warning "Type safety: The method add(Object) belongs to the raw
type List. References to generic type List<E> should be parameterized." 
Compiling with "javac -Xlint" does not produce any warnings.

If the type parameter is removed from class Base, no warning is produced.
