[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HV-387) org.hibernate.validator.cfg.defs.GenericConstraintDef should (probably) not extend the raw type ConstraintDef

org.hibernate.validator.cfg.defs.GenericConstraintDef should (probably) not extend the raw type ConstraintDef ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HV-387 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-387 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Components: engine Reporter: Dag Hovland Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Priority: Trivial Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta1 Attachments: ConstraintDef.diff, GenericConstraintDef.diff The class 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>. The fix seems more "correct", and I suggest this is changed in the source. The file GenericConstraintDef.diff contains the mentioned fix, while ConstraintDef.diff adds type parameters to a few related methods in org.hibernate.validator.cfg.ConstraintDef
