Description Maxime Daniel 2008-06-09 09:56:46 EDT

On the following test case (which is GenericTypeTest#245) and a few others:
public class X <T> { 
	<G> T foo(G g) {
		return null;
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		X rx = new X();
		rx.<String>foo("hello"); // Eclipse error here
	}
}

javac 7 does not complain, as if some slack was now allowed for raw methods to be used as their non-rawified counterparts. This might indicate an inflexion in the specification intents, or else a mere javac bug (will check with more recent versions - tried 7 b24 so far).
