[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Generic method signatures

[ludwig@xxxxxxxxx (Dirk Ludwig)]

Hello,

I have a question regarding eclipse method signatures. When I retrieve the 
signature of the method 

   public <K,V> Map<K,V> myMethod() {
       return null;
   }

via IMethod's getSignature() method, I get the following signature:

   ()QMap<QK;QV;>;

In this case the type variables (K and V) are represented as unresolved 
classes in the signature. Is this the supposed behaviour or is it a bug? I 
would expect that the type variables had been represented as type 
variables (i.e. with a "T" prefix, not with a "Q" prefix). At least this 
is the representation contained in the bytecode:

   ()Ljava/util/Map<TK;TV;>;

If this is not a bug: How can i distinguish a type variable from an 
unresolved class within a method signature?

If this _is_ a bug: Is there any workaround?

Regards,
  Dirk
