I have a java doclet which scans jdk versions iteratively, m2 was got in 
previous round of run of the tool , then it's stored in a file (for 
example when scan jdk 1.8 source code), then parsed and retrieved from 
the file again (for example when scan jdk 9 source code).

Yes, it should fail.
In my situation, "getContent(java.lang.Class[] c) {}" is the code in jdk 
1.8, "getContent(java.lang.Class<?>[] c) {}" is the corresponding code 
in jdk 9. When I scan jdk 9 source code, I need to tell that 
getContent(java.lang.Class<?>[] c) and getContent(java.lang.Class[] c) 
are in fact the same method, rather than 2 different methods.

Thank you
