SunJDK will correctly infer the reference types, correct?
If so, changing this to reference types should make both JDKs happy.

Andy,

It looks like OpenJDK javac does not handle type unboxing with a
generic method where the parameter that resolves the generic infers
the type to do the un-boxing on. While SunJDK does handle it.

Now, to the question which one is correct? I'm not sure but SunJDK
does a valid inference.

thx
