the following code doesn't compile with eclipse :

AbstractTest.java:
package test;

public abstract class AbstractTest<Z> {
  
  public abstract MyEnum m(Z z);
  
  public enum MyEnum {
    A,B
  }
}

Test.java:
package test;

import static test.AbstractTest.MyEnum.*;

public class Test extends AbstractTest<String> {
  @Override
  public MyEnum m(String s) {
    return A; // <--- here
  }
}

This corectly compile without the import static or
without the generics.

The infered type of A is AbstractTest<Z>.MyEnum
and not AbstractTest.MyEnum.
It seems that eclipse doesn't considere that
enum {} is a static context (the enum must not
parametrized by Z) in case of static import.
