Andrew,
The main motivation for this fix was exactly to fix building JBoss EAP
certification bundle (for 6.2.0).
This fix exists in IcedTea (6650759-missing_inference.patch) but for
whatever reason was never promoted to openjdk6.
Thanks,
Ivan

please review the fix for OPENJDK6-35: backport of JDK-6650759 to openjdk6
Inference of formal type parameter (unused in formal parameters) is not

The changes are the same as for OpenJDK7 however hg import failed due to
differences in the context of code being changed.

Testing: build on Windows (cross-platform code, should be ok for linux
too), all regression tests for javac - generics.
ISTR that we decided not to import that because it was too risky -
it broke some existing code (JBoss? Eclipse?) I can't remember.
Given that all JDK6 code has had to put up with this bug for so
long, unless you have a compelling argument, this should not go in.
Andrew.
