A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Assume I have:

ByteBuffer bb;

For reading the first byte of this Buffer after filling I must code:

((ByteBuffer)bb.flip()).get();


JUSTIFICATION :

  To avoid the cast to ByteBuffer, class Buffer must be generified.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
This should be valid:

bb.flip().get();

ACTUAL -
Casting needed:

((ByteBuffer)bb.flip()).get();


CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Casting
