From bug 174327:

We have no good quick fix for the situation below. 

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Map;
public class Try {
	void caller() {
		method(Collections.emptyMap()); //error on method
	}

	void method(Map<String, Integer> map) { }
}

The user probably meant:
		method(Collections.<String, Integer>emptyMap());

The compiler do the inference when Collections.emptyMap() is assigned to a variable (JLS3 15.12.2.8), but not when it is the actual argument of a method invocation.
