Description Joja Joja CLA 2020-03-10 18:05:40 EDT 
It's valid to use a generic type with the var keyword, which should not be allowed:

var<Integer> a = new ArrayList<Double>();
var<Integer> b = new ArrayList<>();
var<> c = new ArrayList<>();

The generic type does have no effect and seems to be ignored completely. These programs are compiled and executed perfectly fine.

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.
