Description Olivier Thomann

2006-11-27 22:47:13 EST

In org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler.regression.MethodVerifyTest#test087,
we could report:
"----------\n" + 
"1. WARNING in X.java (at line 11)\r\n" + 
"	Collection<Interface2> doStuff();\r\n" + 
"	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n" + 
"Type safety: The return type Collection<Interface2> for doStuff() from the type Interface4 needs unchecked conversion to conform to Collection<Interface1> from the type Interface3\n" + 

instead of:

"----------\n" + 
"1. WARNING in X.java (at line 11)\r\n" + 
"	Collection<Interface2> doStuff();\r\n" + 
"	^^^^^^^^^^\n" + 
"Type safety: The return type Collection<Interface2> for doStuff() from the type Interface4 needs unchecked conversion to conform to Collection<Interface1> from the type Interface3\n" + 
"----------\n"

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.
