[hibernate-dev] GenericConstraintDef extends raw ConstraintDef

Hi! We were wondering why org.hibernate.validator.cfg.defs.GenericConstraintDef extends the raw type ConstraintDef ? Using maven, it compiles, but in Eclipse (with jdk-1.6) We get the following error: "Name clash: The method groups(Class<?>...) of type GenericConstraintDef has the same erasure as groups(Class...) of type ConstraintDef but does not override it" and similar for the method "payload". The others methods give no errors. We do not understand why, but it compiles after changing the definition to public class GenericConstraintDef<A extends Annotation> extends ConstraintDef<A> and also replacing the "Class<?>" in the argument to the method "constraintType" with "Class<A>.
