Need to adjust code in Spring Framework to allow compilation by Eclipse 4.7 compiler [SPR-15586]

[spring-projects-issues]

Andy Clement opened SPR-15586 and commented

Eclipse JDT has a current problem with inferencing. This bug has previously been found to prevent compilation of reactor-core in eclipse but now is also affecting spring framework. The general problem is described here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=515600

The fix date is way out in the future. Under this jira I will slightly adjust the source for ConfigurationClassProcessingTests in spring to work around the bug so it will compile cleanly in Eclipse.

Andy Clement, we're releasing 5.0 RC2 on Wednesday... Let's sort this out today or tomorrow?

No worries from my side about adapting any test code of ours, maybe with a comment that says "don't touch this - otherwise it won't compile in Eclipse" :-)

Hey Juergen, I have already done the work, think I just forgot to close this!
