Build Identifier: I20100413-1521

With a class such as the following, where "first" only implicitly references the static generic parameter, inlining will lose references to the parameter entirely.

class Scratch {
  static <U> List<U> second() {
    return new ArrayList<U>();
  }

  static <T> List<T> first() {
    return second();
  }

  void client() {
    use(Scratch.<String>first());
  }

  static void use(List<String> emptyList) {}
}

Inlining "first" results in "client" attempting to call "use(Scratch.second());", which is a compile error.

"use(Scratch.<String>second());" is expected / required.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the above class in a Java editor; fix the imports.
2. Place the cursor inside the "first" declaration.
3. Inline (alt+shift+i / alt+shift+t,&Inline..)
4. Observe compile error.
