The following example might be semantically useless, but show the problem.
Say we have the following custom class:

public class Generic<T> {
	public int size() {
		return 0;
	}
}

And a testing class:

public class Test {
	public void testList(ArrayList aList) {
		aList.size();
	}
	public void testGeneric(Generic aGeneric) {
		aGeneric.size();
	}
}

Now, eclipse shows a warning for "aGeneric.size()" but none for "aList.size()".
In fact, it shouldn't show any warning for either case. 

Taken from a discussion with Bruce Chapman: "the difference between the two that
is causing Eclipse to behave differently might be that with Generic, it has the
source code, whereas for ArrayList it will be compiling against the bytecode
from the system jar file."
