Given the code on 3.1M2, using Java 1.5.0-rc:
********
import java.util.*;
public class Test2<A> {

  A v2;
  Test2(A a) { v2 = a; }
  
  void func() {
    List<B<A>> l = new ArrayList<B<A>>();
  }

  class B<T> {
    T v1;
    B(T b) {  v1 = b; }
  }
  
}
************
There are 4 cases
(1) class B is defined within class Test2 as above, I get the error
   "Type mismatch: cannot convert from ArrayList<Test2.B<A>> to 
      List<Test2.B<A>>"
(2) class B is defined within class Test2 as above, but now "static", 
    I get the same error.
(3) same as case (2), but the parameter type to List and ArrayList are 
    fully qualified like so: "List<Test2.B<A>>", the I do not get the error.
(4) class B is defined (non-static) outside the Test2 class definition, but
  still within the same file, then I do not get the error.
