Description Luke Hutchison CLA 2006-12-13 15:25:42 EST 
I have a class STM<K,V> and a class DeadlockTester<K,V> that contains a field "private STM<K, V> stm".  Inside DeadlockTester I write:

  K key;
  stm.newMethod(key);

I get the following error on "newMethod" : "The method newMethod(K) is undefined for the type STM<K,V>".

Quick fix gives me only the following option:

  Add cast to 'stm' : "((Object) stm).newMethod(key);"

I would expect an option "Create method 'void newMethod(K key)' in class STM<K,V>".

Fixed in 4.8, but a new bug is introduced (the wrong type variable is used, see bug #539067).
