The following classes compile cleanly with JDK 6.0:

public abstract class Base<Tvalue> implements BaseInterface<Tvalue>{
	public void setValue(Object object) {
	}
}

public interface BaseInterface<Tvalue> {
	void setValue(Tvalue object);
}

public class BaseImpl extends Base<String> {
	public void setValue(String object) {
	}
}

However, the internal eclipse compiler reports the following error on BaseImpl (yes, BaseImpl):

Name clash: The method setValue(Tvalue) of type BaseInterface<Tvalue> has the same erasure as setValue(Object) of type Base<Tvalue> but does not override it

I can sort of see why the eclipse compiler might be correct but that doesn't help me, since the way to get round the problem with the real code (the above is a test case) is rather convoluted. I can't really use eclipse with this project, as a result.
