How to make a generic null annotated method [message #1748668]

I have this:

static <A extends Annotation> @Nullable A getSomething( Class<A> annotationClass)

When i call it like this:

getSomething(MyAnnotation.class);

I get this error:
Null type safety (type annotations): The expression of type 'Class<MyAnnotation>' needs unchecked conversion to conform to 'Class<@NonNull MyAnnotation>'

I played with different variants, but I couldn't get it free of warning.

I assume you have @NonNullByDefault applying to the code in question? Otherwise I wouldn't see any issue at all.

In that case you would be seeing https://bugs.eclipse.org/477719 which was fixed as of 4.6M4. Which version are you using, could you please try a recent version?

Yes, indeed. This is specified.

If indeed you see the "unchecked conversion" warning still in Neon, then a bug report with a full example would be appreciated, since from what you showed so far, I cannot reproduce the problem in Neon (but could in older versions).

Hm, while trying to create this, i cannot reproduce too.
In my original code, i use aspectj nature.
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/46/dev/update

When i add the aspectj nature to my sample project, the warning shows up.

Great you found this.

The readme of the latest AspectJ release has this:
Quote:

The JDT compiler inside AspectJ has been upgraded to the Eclipse Mars.2 level (commit #a7bba8b1).

So for now, in any AspectJ projects you'll be missing all JDT compiler bug fixes from the Neon cycle.

OMG, this is a setback for me.
I spend so many hours on this code changes.
Thanks for this info.
