3.1rc1

This should fail:

import java.util.*;
public class Y {
		 public static void main(String[] args) {
		 		 List<String> l = (List<String>)Collections.emptyList();
		 }
		 
}

Generic method invocation only looks at the expected type when in the context of
Assignment Conversion, not Casting Conversion.

Credits for finding this defect go to Tim Hanson.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2005-06-01 04:28:17 EDT 
Added GenericTypeTest#test704. Impacted other existing tests (171&396).
Fix is to stop setting expected type in CastExpressions.

Fixed
