Build id: I20091210-1301 1. In a 1.5 project, enter the following code: List<?> obj = new ArrayList<Object>(); obj.add(0, new Object()); 2. The 'add' method will have an error, hit Ctrl+1, it will suggest to 'Change to 'addAll(...)''. Do so. 3. The code is changed. Save. Now there's an error for 'addAll'. :( 4. Hit Ctrl+1, now it's suggesting 'Cast argument 'new Object()' to 'Collection<? extends ?>' and 'Change to 'add(...)''. 5. Try both. Neither of them will get the code to compile. :((
There's no free lunch ;-). Quick fix just makes some guesses and then lets you decide whether they could be useful. In this case, it looks like we should not propose other methods or to cast arguments, but better concentrate on the type of the target variable 'obj' and suggest to turn it into List<Object> or List<? super Object>.
