Hello,
I was wondering if the change in ParameterizedType::toString was intended.
I just found my to break after an update due to a test relying on a certain
value for this method.
My example is:
public abstract class AbstractTypeDescriptionGenericTest {
public static class NestedSpecifiedTypeVariableType<T> {
NestedSpecifiedTypeVariableType<String>.Placeholder foo;
class Placeholder { }
}
}
which changed the toString value for the generic type of "foo"
(NestedSpecifiedTypeVariableType.class.getDeclaredField("foo").getGenericType().toString())
from:
AbstractTypeDescriptionGenericTest.AbstractTypeDescriptionGenericTest$NestedSpecifiedTypeVariableType<java.lang.String>.Placeholder
to
AbstractTypeDescriptionGenericTest$NestedSpecifiedTypeVariableType<java.lang.String>$Placeholder
I am wondering if the latter is the new expected format. This does
apparently also break Scala on the latest JDK.
Thanks for any information.
Best regards, Rafael
