Description Tim Hanson CLA 2005-06-03 13:37:22 EDT 
Eclipse allows the following illegal cast:

interface C extends B<String>{}
interface D extends B<Integer>{}

interface A<T> {}
interface B<T> {}

class Z {
             public static void main(String[] args) {
                         D d = null;
                         C c = (C)d; // illegal
             }
}
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2005-06-07 10:26:18 EDT 
Reproduced with latest.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2005-06-10 03:31:58 EDT 
Added GenericTypeTest#test732-736.

Cast check between interfaces must ensure no incompatible supertype exist. Check
similar to connecting superinterfaces for a type (except for hierarchy it is a
bit as no wildcard can be used).

Defined and used ReferenceBinding#hasIncompatibleSuperType(...)

Fixed
