Comment 2 lforet 2013-06-25 15:47:02 UTC 
It happens when I try to add a generic type to a class and the name of the type is the classname I extends. Example :

public class MyWidget<Widget> extends Widget

ofcourse what I wanted to write was 

public class MyWidget<W extends Widget> extends Widget

But I had the exception before.
