In the following example, with I20040824, the private method #compare is marked
as "unused" (I have "unused private fields and methods" set to "warning" in the
compiler preferences):

package test;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class GenericsMethodsTest {
   public void a() {
      List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>();
      List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<String>();
      
      compare(list1, list2);
   }
   
   public void b() {
      List<Integer> list1 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
      List<Integer> list2 = new ArrayList<Integer>();
      
      compare(list1, list2);
   }
   
   private <E> void compare(List<E> list1, List<E> list2) {
      // do some comparing logic...
   }
}
