Description Michel Graciano 2009-06-18 21:10:28 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200906142201 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ]

For the following code snippet, the editor just shows up an warning
where it must shows an compile error.

Map<String, List<String>> status = new <String,
List<String>>HashMap();
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2009-06-18 21:46:33 UTC 
To my knowledge, this is a valid (although unusual) Java code, assuming that Map = java.util.Map and HashMap =
java.util.HashMap. See JLS 15.12.2.1 which explicitely allows to use real type parameters for method invocations of
methods that take no type parameters. See issue #146272 desc4. Also note that the code can be compiled using a JDK1.7
javac (although JDK1.6 javac rejects it, which was most likely a bug fixed in JDK1.7). Also, when filling a
high-priority bug (P1/P2), please make sure the reason for the priority is obvious. Thanks.

Comment 2 Michel Graciano 2009-06-18 22:24:00 UTC 
Thanks for clarification.
About bug priority, for me it looks obviously, since editor should have the same behaviour that project JDK. IMHO, if
project uses some specific JDK version, editor should be consistent with it. Why I posted it as P1? It is simple, the
developers just waste some time to figure out why IDE shows up different behaviour that JDK compiler... so in this case
the tool just confuses the developer.

Regards

As what is P1 please check these:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/BugPriorityGuidelines

This one would qualify as P4?
