Version: 3.1.1

Version: 3.2M2
Build id: I20050923-1000

Consider the following Code example:

----------------------------------------------------
class Array<T> {
	public void add(T t){
		System.out.println("Array<T>:add");
	}
}

class NumericArray<T extends Number> extends Array<T> {
	@Override
	public void add(Number n){
		System.out.println("NumericArray<T>:add");
	}
}
----------------------------------------------------

Eclipse gives an error on the @Override annotation  "the method add(Number)
of type NumericArray<T> must override a superclass method"
together with the marker
"overrides Array<T>.add"

If add is called on an instance of e.g. NumericArray<Integer>, then
Eclipse calls Array<T>.add, whereas java version 1.5.0_05 calls
NumericArray<T>:add.

Summary:
- Javac 1.5.0_05 considers NumericArray.add as an override
- Eclipse compiler considers NumericArray.add as an overload
- Eclipse override marker considers NumericArray.add as an override
