I'm using eclipse-SDK-3.1M5a-win32.zip. I have encountered strange problem with
using generics. When generic class has a generic method then the method loses
genericity if generic class is used as non generic. In sample below m1 does not
compile and m2 compiles.

Note: Javac has the same problem. So I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature.

The following are shown in Problems view:

Severity	Description	Resource	In Folder	Location	Creation 
1	Type safety: The method willBe(Class) belongs to the raw type Test.B.
References to generic type Test.B<C> should be parameterized	Test.java
test/test	line 16	
2	Type mismatch: cannot convert from Test.I1 to Test.I2	Test.java	test/test	line 16	

--------- begin of test/Test.java --------------

package test;

public class Test {
	static class B<C> {
		public <T extends I1> T willBe(Class<T> c) {
			return (T)null;
		}
	}
	interface I1  {
	}
	interface I2  extends I1 {
	}
	
	public static void m1(String[] args) {
		B b = new B();
		I2 v = b.willBe(I2.class);
	}
	public static void m2(String[] args) {
		B<Void> b = new B<Void>();
		I2 v = b.willBe(I2.class);
	}

}
