----------------------------------
Summary: Add ability to use contravariant return type
Key: LOGTOOL-86
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGTOOL-86
Project: Log Tool
Issue Type: Enhancement
Reporter: David Lloyd
Assignee: James Perkins
Priority: Minor
I'd like to have the ability to specify a *less* specific type as the return type
compared to the type that is instantiated.
For example I should be able to say something like this:
{code}
@Message(id = 12345, value = "There is a big problem named %s")
@ConstructType(IllegalArgumentException.class) // <-
RuntimeException bigProblem(String blah);
{code}
In this example I'm generating a method which returns {{RuntimeException}}, however
the actual exception type I want to construct is an {{IllegalArgumentException}}.
