What version of the JDK RI compiler are you using? I know that there
were changes between update 7 and update 8 which fixed a compiler bug
that ECJ did not have.

I'm pretty sure it was this particular bug, as I've run into the
ReferenceQueue problem with Sun's compiler before.

Hi all!

Recently I've found out that our classlib is not buildable with the
common javac's. I've tested with SUN and Bea ones, and the result was
negative. The log is :

It seems that there is a bug in Eclipse compiler. If we bring the
second situation to the simplier one there will be a small testcase
here :

A.java:
interface A<T> {
}

B.java:
class B {
    void remove(A<?> x) {
    }
}

C.java:
class C extends B {
    void test() {
        remove(new D());
    }
    void remove(D x) {
    }
    private static final class D implements A {
    }
}

These sources are successfully compiled by ejc.jar, but cause the
compile-time error with SUN or BEA javac -

####
C.java:3: reference to remove is ambiguous, both method remove(A<?>)
in B and method remove(C.D) in C match
        remove(new D());
        ^
1 error
###

The question is: Is such situation applicable for Harmony? If no -
should we file a bug against Eclipse compiler?

Thanks.
