Corrective hints for type incorrect generic Java programs

Cited by 12Abstract and details only

Abstract

Since version 1.5, generics (parametric polymorphism) are part of the Java language. Experience with implementations of the Java Language Specification such as EJC and JAVAC has shown that the type error messages provided by these tools leave more than a little to be desired. Type error messages are often uninformative and sometimes show artifacts of the type checking process in the messages. Apparently, providing good type error messages for a language as large and complex as Java currently is, is not easy.
