Description Roberto S. Tyley 2004-05-18 17:04:48 EDT

With Eclipse I20040514 and Cheetah5 in a fresh install and a new project, I
created the following two parameterized classes- however in the second class
'Function' is incorrectly highlighted by Eclipse with the message "The type
Function is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <Y, X>":

----

public abstract class Function<Y,X> {
    
    public abstract Y eval(X x);

}

----

import java.util.*;

public class FunctionMappedComparator<Y,X> implements Comparator<X> {
	/*
	 * 'Function' is highlighted as an error here - the message is:
	 * "The type Function is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments
<Y, X>"
	 */
    protected Function<Y,X> function;
    protected Comparator<Y> comparator;
    
    public FunctionMappedComparator(Function<Y,X> function,Comparator<Y>
comparator ) {
        this.function=function;
        this.comparator=comparator;
    }

    public int compare(X x1, X x2) {
        return comparator.compare(function.eval(x1),function.eval(x2));
    }

}

----

I'm using J2SE1.50 beta1 (1.5.0-beta-b32c) - yes, I'm one of those lusers who
has to wait for the public release of beta2! Does this reproduce with a current
drop of beta2?
