      Description

        FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


        A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
        The following method of java.util.Comparator requires that type U extend java.lang.Comparable.

          <U extends Comparable<? super U>> Comparator<T> thenComparing(
            Function<? super T, ? extends U> keyExtractor,
            Comparator<? super U> keyComparator);

        But this restriction is unnecessary because keyComparator is used to compare extracted key objects.



        REPRODUCIBILITY :
        This bug can be reproduced always.
