public class AttributeList extends ArrayList {
     public AttributeList(AttributeList al) {...}
     public AttributeList(List<Attribute> l) {...}
}

For some surprising compatibility reasons, AttributeList can't extend
ArrayList<Attribute>, even though that is what it really is. It just
extends raw ArrayList.

What we're seeing is that the following code:

AttributeList al =
     new AttributeList(new AttributeList());

gives the following error:

AL.java:6: reference to AttributeList is ambiguous, both method
AttributeList(javax.management.AttributeList) in
javax.management.AttributeList and method
AttributeList(java.util.List<javax.management.Attribute>) in
javax.management.AttributeList match
         AttributeList al = new AttributeList(new AttributeList());
