A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The attached code does not compile in java 9, intellij idea do not suggest any problems with it. To make it compiling one must do a implicit cast or assign intermediate result to a typed variable.


REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u161

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Try to compile the attached code in java 9

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :

it compiles since it is compilable in java 8 ant development tool (intellij idea) do not report any problems with the code.
ACTUAL -
Error:(20, 113) java: incompatible types: java.lang.Object cannot be converted to /package name here/.Base

Error:(20, 113) java: incompatible types: java.lang.Object cannot be converted to /package name here/.Base

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
