When working with a Hashtable and a new style for loop the editor is confused
about the correct type of the Hashtables key and values sets. In the simple
example below the editor states a type mismatch cannot convert Integer to
String. Change the String s to Integer s, the editor complains that it cannot
convert String to Integer.

The same holds true for other Collection classes as well. In the example code
the same cannot covert from type Integer to String occures when using the list
in the for loop.

I imagine this has something to do with the JavaModel being used in the editor
as they are only visual errors and the class compiles and runs ok.


public class test {

	public static void main(String[] args) { 
	    Hashtable<Integer, String> h = new Hashtable<Integer,String>(); 
	    h.put(new Integer(0), "value"); 
	    String st = h.get(new Integer(0));
	    
	    for(String s:  h.values()){
	    	System.out.println(s);
	    }
            
            List<String> l = new ArrayList<String>();

	    for(String s:  l){
	    	System.out.println(s);
	    }


	  }
}
