> There's an ambiguity in part of the generics spec in Java, and the Oracle compiler (as seen, e.g., on Mac OS X) and IBM compiler (as seen in Eclipse) disagree.
> We have some code that compiles under the IBM compiler in Eclipse, but doesn't compile under the Oracle compiler if you use Maven from the command line.  This means, for example, that if you have something working in Eclipse and then "mvn clean install", the build will fail.
> Workround: clean the projects in Eclipse, and only do "mvn install" on the command line, so that the classes in question are observed as being already compiled by Maven.
> It would be nice, though, to get this code reworked so that it would compile in both environments.
