I rebuilt the toolkit from source and narrowed down the issue a bit
myself, definitely seems to have something to do with inner classes
being defined inside generic classes. Unfortunately my codebase is
pretty big and we do this in multiple spots, so I'm still trying to
get around it. Will see if i can make similar changes to what Raman
has done... but I think that the code around this part of resolving
generic types could use a little more error handling to identify these
cases at least, because without compiling from source with my own
debug statements I wasn't even able to figure out which classes it
first started complaining about.
