Description Jesse Glick 2000-10-27 14:45:04 UTC 
[trunk build Oct 27 2000]

Curious to see what would happen, I mounted lib/patches/openide-compat.jar from
a new IDE build in Filesystems and explored to
org/openide/util/actions/SystemAction.class. This bytecode file has two methods
differing only in return type:

	public final Icon getIcon ();
	public final ImageIcon getIcon ();

Note that a Java compiler cannot produce such a classfile, but you can create it
manually and the JVM will accept it.

The IDE only displayed one of the methods (the one with ImageIcon as the return
type).
Comment 1 Tomas Hurka 2001-01-24 08:07:59 UTC 
OK, I added return type of the method as a part of MethodElement.Key object.
This is optional, you can still create MethodElementKey without return type to
retain backward compatibility. Proposed patch will be attached in the next
comment.

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
