Description Markus Keller CLA 2004-11-20 16:00:47 EST

The Javadocs of #getErasure() in ITypeBinding and IMethodBinding include this:

	 * Note: the erasure link is not a general back-link between the members
	 * of a generic type instance and the corresponding members of the
	 * generic type.

AFAICS, getErasure() *is* a general back-link from a raw or parameterized
reference to the corresponding generic declaration. If that's true, then the
note should be removed.
Comment 1 Jim des Rivieres CLA 2004-11-30 13:48:21 EST 
Agreed. I'm not sure why that note was there. I've removed it.
