Description Paul Elder CLA 2013-05-21 13:54:11 EDT 
The Javadoc for the getter of a multi-valued reference feature contains a link like the following:

	 * The list contents are of type {@link T}.

If T is a type parameter for the EClass, then the Javadoc compiler gives the following warning:

... MElementContainer.java:61: warning - Tag @link: reference not found: T

Some suggested resolutions can be found in bug 406780 comment 4. 

IMHO, it would be sufficient to not emit the comment if generating code for JDK 5.0 or above, as the list parameter is available in the method signature.
