as per Bug 160135 comment 1, opening a new bug for this. 1) eclipse probably knows what "A" is, in my case it was "Response", thus if you already know that x is HttpHandler why not say what A is?
Can you provide a small complete testcase demonstrating the original problem ?
Here's the test case I used to reproduce: HttpHandler.java: public class HttpHandler { class Response {} } Test.java: public class Test { void foo() { new HttpHandler.Response(); } }
The compiler doesn't really know what A can be in all cases. It is difficult to get a unified error message. A is clearly an example of what could be wrong. Closing as WONTFIX.
Too bad for user friendliness - if you know in most cases what A is, how about saying so and only in case the compiler doesn't only then say *A* as a placeholder... would that be better?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
