Observed in the context of bug 417675 :

Consider the following Java classes:

class C<T> {
  class D {
  }
}
class E extends C<String> {
}

A reference 'E.D' is equivalent to the type reference 'C<String>.D' but since JvmTypeRefernces in Xtype are modelled as plain x-refs with a qualified name, we loose this information when using 'E.D' in Xtend code.
The IJvmTypeProvider is queried with 'E.D' and should return a JvmType which is the raw type C.D. From that one, it cannot be deduced which value should be bound to the free type variable T even though the concrete syntax provided that information.
