Description matthies 2009-08-13 18:00:37 UTC 
Example:

    new ThreadLocal<String>("foo");

There is the hint 'Create new class "ThreadLocal" in package {current package}'. The hint disappears when "<String>" is 
removed.
Comment 1 Max Sauer 2009-08-14 09:13:45 UTC 
In fact, the hint should be probably disabled in the first case also, since there is no ThreadLocal(String) ctor in java.lang.ThreadLocal and hiding java.lang 
classes does not look like good code style.
Comment 2 matthies 2009-08-18 14:42:24 UTC 
Yes, that's what I meant, there should be no hint in the case of explicit type arguments here, for the same reason 
there is no hint in the case of no explicit type arguments.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
