Morten Lauritsen Khodabocus commented on MPMD-139:
--------------------------------------------------
This problem does not occur when running the same check in Eclipse, which might
suggest the problem is in the maven plugin (not sure).
I could try to provide a patch, but I'm not sure where to begin.
> Cannot parse "super.<SomeType> someMethod()" syntax

> Key: MPMD-139
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMD-139
> Project: Maven 2.x PMD Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PMD
> Affects Versions: 2.6
> Environment: $ mvn --version
> Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 18:31:09+0100)
> Maven home: xxx\apache-maven-3.0.3
> Java version: 1.6.0_17, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
> Java home: xxx\jdk1.6.0_17\jre
> Default locale: de_CH, platform encoding: Cp1252
> OS name: "windows xp", version: "5.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
> PMD plugin configuration:
> <artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>2.6</version>
> <configuration>
> <linkXRef>false</linkXRef>
> <verbose>true</verbose>
> <targetJdk>1.5</targetJdk>
> <sourceEncoding>UTF-8</sourceEncoding>

> On the following code:
> Line 155: return super.<SomeClass> someMethod(someArgument);
> PMD reports the following problem:
> [WARNING] Error while parsing xxx\MyClass.java: Encountered " "<" "< "" at
> line 155, column 22.
> Was expecting:
> <IDENTIFIER> ...
> I tried the following:
> 1) Updated PMD maven plugin to 2.6 (I was using 2.5)
> 2) Verified that the targetJdk setting is taking effect (I get an error when
> setting it to "xxx")
> 3) I set the source encoding to UTF-8 (My default is Cp1252)
> 4) When changing line 155 to "return (Iterable<SomeClass>)
> super.someMethod(someArgument);", no error is reported
> So it seems that Java 5 mode is enabled, but the particular syntax of
> parameterizing the method call on invocation is not supported.
> This is valid syntax, the code is running in production.
