Hi Andrew,
OK, I see, thank you for this point!
Indeed, the fix is just a backport of JDK-6938454 to OpenJDK 6.
Thanks,
Nikolay

Please, review the fix for
OPENJDK6-40: OpenJDK6-b32 does not compile the testcase that Oracle JDK 6u45
compiles fine
This is a regression of the fix for OPENJDK6-35 (which is a backport of
JDK-6650759 to OpenJDK 6). In OpenJDK 7 this regression existed too -
it was tracked as
JDK-6938454: Unable to determine generic type in program that compiles under
Java 6
The solution is to backport the fix for JDK-6938454 to OpenJDK 6.
The backport is small and straightforward, but not identical to the original
fix - the changes related to "diamond" operator support are not applicable
to OpenJDK 6.
The practical reason for this fix is that currently OpenJDK 6 fails to
compile
Apache Flume 1.5.0, while Oracle Java 6 and 7 do the compilation
successfully.
Bug: https://java.net/jira/browse/OPENJDK6-40
OpenJDK bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6938454
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ikrylov/openjdk6bug40.langtools.webrev/
Testing: builds on Windows and Linux, all regression tests for javac,
building
Apache Flume 1.5.0.
Thanks,

As this is a backport of an OpenJDK fix with an existing bug ID (6938454),
there is no need for the OpenJDK 6 bug ID, OPENJDK6-40. These are only used
where a fix is unique to OpenJDK 6.
Thanks,
