Hi Till, but StreamExecutionEnvironmentTest.fromElementWithBaseTypeTest2 does not test was you describe -- even if it is intended to test it.
It would test your describe scenario, if fromElements(Class<X>, X...)
would be called, But this call is not possible because X is defined a
type Subclass and thus the provided object of Parentclass cannot be
handed over as type X. Therefore, fromElements(Object...) is called: of
course, this fails too, because now the type is derived as
Class<Subclass> (and not Subclass) and neither Subclass nor Parentclass
inherit from Class<Subclass>.
The scenario you describe will never work -- if you remove the overload
fromElements(Object...) the code would not even compile as the compiler
can figure out from the generics that the call
fromElments(Subclass.class, new Parentclass()) is invalid.
It is only possible to hand in "reverse inheritance types" for
fromElemenst(Object...). In this case, the first given Object defines
the type. Thus, if you call fromElements(new Subclass(), new
Parentclass()), the call will fail, as Parentclass is no subtype of
Subtype -- the call fromElements(new Parentclass() new Subclass()) would
succeed.
Makes sense?
Still no idea how to make it compile in Eclipse...
