Bug 327289

Description Henri Tremblay 2010-10-07 19:34:50 EDT

Related to bug# 321548 that I thought should have fixed the issue in 3.6.1 (Eclipse SR1).

I still have the issue. Here's a test case:

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.List;
import org.junit.Test;

public class OverloadTest {

	public boolean foo(List<Boolean> l) {
		return false;
	}
	
	public <T> T foo(List<T> l) {
		return null;
	}
	
	@Test
	public void test() {
		boolean value = foo(Collections.<Boolean>emptyList());
	}
}

In Helios, this code doesn't compile. If works well in Galileo and Javac. 

I need this overload to be able to return false instead of null when a Boolean is used. This will happen if the method taking List<Boolean> in argument is removed (and so the test will throw an NPE).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to compile the test case in Helios (3.6.0 or 3.6.1)
