Bug 415359

Description Zorzella Mising name 2013-08-19 12:59:44 EDT

If there's, say, two overloads of a method "foo", each that take a different class named, say, Key (from different packages), Eclipse gets confused when navigating.

In the example below (need three classes, in different packages as given), selecting either the first foo or the second foo and hitting F3 brings a dialog asking which "foo" I want. Ctrl-clicking also misbehaves -- ctrl-clicking on either call to "foo" takes the editor to the first overload, i.e. the one that takes a.Key (BTW, I encountered this when using ObjectifyFactory.getMetadata, where the quirk manifests slightly differently, but it's essentially the same thing -- in that case, both Ctrl-clicking and F3 would take me to one of the overloads). All that despite the fact there is no ambiguity about which overload is appropriate. So much so that the correct overload gets highlighted if you have "Mark Occurences" toggled on.

***********
public class Confused {

  private void foo(a.Key k) {}
  private void foo(b.Key k) {}
  
  private void bar() {
    a.Key ak = new a.Key();
    b.Key bk = new b.Key();
    
    foo(ak); // first foo
    foo(bk); // second foo
  }
}

package a;

public class Key {}

package b;

public class Key {}
