[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-255?page=comments#action_12345503 ] Kabir Khan commented on JBAOP-255: ---------------------------------- class Super { Object getFoo(){} } class POJO extends Super { String getFoo(){} } becomes class Super { Object getFoo(){} } class POJO extends Super { String getFoo(){} volatile Object getFoo(){} } The extra volatile method is a "bridge method". (ACC_VOLATILE and ACC_BRIDGE are both 0x00000040). http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/FAQSections/TechnicalDetails.ht... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
