A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
(Referring to code in "Source code for an executable test case" section)

Classes AA, CC and DD compile just fine. However BB do not, with the error copied below, even though the method signatures are identical up to consistant renaming of bound variables.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Simple compile with 5.0.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Compile without error.

ACTUAL -
Error message below.


ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
BB is not abstract and does not override abstract method <X>m(X) in AA
class BB<U, V extends AA<U, V>> implements AA<U,V> {


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
