BeanInfo.getPropertyDescriptors() gets mixed up with generic bridge methods

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [versão 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If a JavaBean class has properties that are inherited from a generic superclass, java.beans.BeanInfo will find a PropertyDescriptor corresponding to synthetic bridge methods and not the actual typed methods.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a generic superclass with a property (getter/setter pair) whose type is a type parameter. Create a parametrized subclass (a subclass with actual type arguments). Use java.beans.Introspector.getBeanInfo() to get a BeanInfo representing the subclass. Notice that the PropertyDescriptor that would correspond to the property (meaning, it's name is the same as the name of the property) has a type equal to the upper bound of the type parameter in the superclass, where we would expect it to have the corresponding type argument defined on the subclass.

This behavior is likely due to the Introspector finding synthetic bridge methods for the getter and setter instead of the actual methods.

(The Expected and Actual results below refer to the output of the sample code)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
class of type class java.lang.Class
foo of type class java.lang.String

ACTUAL -
class of type class java.lang.Class
foo of type class java.lang.Object


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
