Description David Audel CLA 2006-06-20 06:35:23 EDT
build I20060614-0843 + JDT/Core HEAD

import java.util.List;
 
public class X<T> {
  public static void main(final String[] pArgs) {
    final List<X<?>> l2 = castList(null, List<X>.class);
  }
}

The recovered AST is: 

public class X<T> {
  public static void main(final String[] pArgs) {
    final List<X<?>> l2 = castList(null, List < (X > void.class));
  }
}

and cause some strange error messages:

List cannot be resolved
Syntax error on token ">", void expected after this token
X cannot be resolved
Comment 1 Eclipse Genie CLA 2019-05-15 19:24:04 EDT
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
