Hi!

The following piece of code compiles with Eclipse 3.1 and the Java compiler, 
but in Eclipse 3.1.1 it fails in the marked line. The list "list" is 
parametrized by a restricted generic parameter C. C has to derive 
from "Notifyble", an interface, that contains a parametrized notify-method. 
Explicit casting to "Notifyable" helps, but should not be necessary


import java.util.List;

public class NotifyMethodProblem {
    public static interface Notifyable {
        public Object notify(Object msg);
    }

    public static class InnerClass<C extends Notifyable> {
        private List<C> list;

        public InnerClass() {
            // *** Here: the notify-method is not available
            this.list.get(0).notify(null);

            // The following line compiles without problems.
            ((Notifyable) this.list.get(0)).notify(null);
        }
    }
}

Best regards
Volker
