Max volunteered :) This bug is a recurring pain for me, because my code has lots of parameters of type Class<?>. As a workaround, I temporarily delete the <?> or cast to a raw type Class, let the hint generate my method, and then add back the parameter. Seems like the kind of useless work that should be automated. (Also, it would be good to provide me a way of controlling where the inserted methods go; the default location is almost always wrong.) Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1.1 (Build 201202271535)
This is really very annoying. I hardly use ANY collections without generics so that this bug hits me more and more often.
Just use the below class and check the quick hints. The first 2 work as expected, the foo(b) just report an error ...
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<String> a;
List<? extends String> b;
foo(); // works to create method with quick hint
foo(a); // works to create method with quick hint
foo(b); // only reports an error
}
}
PS: changed version to 7.1.1 and target to TBD
