Yes, that was the problem,
so probably there are no JDK's handling it differently.

Hi Guillaume,
Was the initial problem you just using SessionImpl directly? Or is it a problem of
particular JDK handling the covariant return differently? In the latter case we'd
need to change the code. In the former, its a discussion.
As for why byId is that way, TBH being new to being able to design APIs with Java 5+
features I tend to try things to see how they work.

I tested it quickly in the test case I was working on and I confirm it
works (with the Eclipse compiler and directly with Maven and the
Oracle JDK 1.6.30 compiler).
That said, I don't understand why you return the Impl instead of the
interface: it's not consistent with byNaturalId() and
bySimpleNaturalId() which are just below. Is there any reason why you
treated them differently?
