Hi, Can someone from langtools kindly chime in with how to move this forward? https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4774077 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rwarburton/buffer-overrides-3/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rwarburton/buffer-overrides-langtools-0/langtool...

So Richard has a patch for that too:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rwarburton/buffer-overrides-langtools-0/langtool...
This is required because in the bootstrap compilation phase a JDK without the co-variant overrides can be used. So the current solution is to suppress the warnings. Reviews from langtools gurus are very much appreciated.
?
Ideally it would be nice to push all this under one issue, is that possible? If not i will have to create another issue and of course push to langtools before jdk.
A internal CCC is also underway.
This has be approved, with the comment that "@since 1.9" should be added to the doc of the new methods, which i have done in my copy of the patch. Thanks, Paul.
