Mark Roberts commented on BCEL-243:
-----------------------------------
I have attached a test snippet that demonstrates the problem.
In general, BCEL has not been updated to fully support generics. There is a
basic flaw throughout the code base that assumes a Java 'descriptor' and a Java
'signature' are the same thing. Kinda sorta true before generics, but
definitely wrong now. In the process of working on this example I found two
more places that are incorrect, no doubt there are many more. [for the record:
the constructor for generic.ObjectType and classfile.Signature.translate()]
I'm not proposing we fix this larger problem for 6.0, but it should be noted as
a significant work item for the future.
> Type.getType() needs to understand TypeVariableSignature(s)
