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
         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
