While verifying bug 202624, I found that error messages are different in the two following cases:

// First case
public class Test {
    public <T> void func(Class<XX> cls){}; 
      // says 'Duplicate method func(Class<Test.XX>) in type Test'
    public <A, B> void func(Class<XX<A, B>> cls) {}
      // says 'Method func(Class<Test.XX<A,B>>) has the same erasure 
      //       func(Class<T>) as another method in type Test'
    class XX<A, B> {}
}

// Second case
public class Test {
    public <T> void func(Class<XX<T,T>> cls){}; // says same erasure
    public <A, B> void func(Class<XX<A, B>> cls) {} // says same erasure
    class XX<A, B> {}
}

JDK 6 does in both cases as Eclipse does in second case, which is what I would have expected in first case as well. Furthermore, Eclipse message do not cite the conflicting method, making the diagnostic harder.
Opening as minor though, since Eclipse still yields an error message that is related to the issue at hand.
