I have the following interfaces:

public interface SelectControl<V, R extends Component<?>, C extends
SelectControl<V, R, C>> extends Control<SelectModel<V>, C>
{
	public interface ValueRepresentationStrategy<VV, RR extends Component<?>>
extends ComponentFactory<VV, RR>
	{
		public String getID(final VV value);
	}
}

I add the following comment line to the getID() method:

/**This value must be equal to the ID of the component returned by the {@link
ComponentFactory#createComponent(V)} method.*/

(The @link used Eclipse completion to generate the V argument.)

This creates a "Missing code implementation in the compiler" mark on line 1 in
the Eclipse IDE---presumably because @link references V (from the enclosing
interface) rather than VV (from the nested interface), and the former has
nothing to do with ComponentFactory.

So I change the comment line to:

/**This value must be equal to the ID of the component returned by the {@link
ComponentFactory#createComponent(VV)} method.*/

Everything compiles, but Eclipse now thinks my JavaDoc reference is incorrect.
