The following case produces a runtime error:

package aj;

public abstract aspect GenericInheritedMethod<T> {

    protected final T getSomething() {
        return null;
    }

}


package aj;

aspect UseInheritedMethod extends GenericInheritedMethod<Integer> {

    // works as expected
    before() : execution(void someMethod()) {
        System.out.println(getSomething());
    }

    // Runtime Error
    void around() : execution(void someMethod()) {
        System.out.println(getSomething());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        someMethod();
    }

    private static void someMethod() {
    }

}


>java aj.UseInheritedMethod
null
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: aj.UseInheritedMethod.getSomething()Ljava/lang/Integer;
        at aj.UseInheritedMethod.ajc$inlineAccessMethod$aj_UseInheritedMethod$aj_UseInheritedMethod$getSomething(UseInheritedMethod.aj)
        at aj.UseInheritedMethod.ajc$around$aj_UseInheritedMethod$2$c74e36b7(UseInheritedMethod.aj:12)
        at aj.UseInheritedMethod.someMethod(UseInheritedMethod.aj:1)
        at aj.UseInheritedMethod.main(UseInheritedMethod.aj:16)

The "inlineAccessMethod" should call "getSomething()Ljava/lang/Object;" as the before advice does.
