Description Christian Dupuis CLA 2010-10-28 04:33:52 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

The attached MappedLinkedCollection implementation does not compile within Eclipse. The following two errors are being reported:

Description	Resource	Path	Location	Type
Name clash: The method get(Key) of type MappedLinkedCollection<Key,Value> has the same erasure as get(Object) of type LinkedHashMap<K,V> but does not override it	MappedLinkedCollection.java	/test1/src/com/springsource	line 33	Java Problem
Name clash: The method put(Key, Value) of type MappedLinkedCollection<Key,Value> has the same erasure as put(K, V) of type HashMap<K,V> but does not override it	MappedLinkedCollection.java	/test1/src/com/springsource	line 24	Java Problem

Please note that the class compiles fine with javac and in previous versions of Eclipse (tried with Eclipse 3.5.2).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import the attached class into a Java project
2. Open the Problems view and see two problems being reported.

This was a bug in java 6 which has been fixed in java7. Eclipse's behaviour is correct and also consistent with java 7. 
See that the attached file gives the following error when compiled with javac 7 ver. b76

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\MappedLinkedColle
ction.java:24: name clash: put(Key,Value) in MappedLinkedCollection and put(K,V)
 in HashMap have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other
    public Collection<Value> put(Key k, Value v) {
                             ^
  where Key,Value,K,V are type-variables:
    Key extends Object declared in class MappedLinkedCollection
    Value extends Object declared in class MappedLinkedCollection
    K extends Object declared in class HashMap
    V extends Object declared in class HashMap
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\MappedLinkedColle
ction.java:33: name clash: get(Key) in MappedLinkedCollection and get(Object) in
 LinkedHashMap have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other
    public Collection<Value> get(Key k) {
                             ^
  where Key,Value,V are type-variables:
    Key extends Object declared in class MappedLinkedCollection
    Value extends Object declared in class MappedLinkedCollection
    V extends Object declared in class LinkedHashMap
2 errors
