Bug#555684: Generic inferencing causing FTBFS for guava-libraries



Hi Miguel

I took a look at FTBFS messages that you saw; it looks like differences
in the generics inferencing engine between sun-jdk and openjdk is
probably causing the issues (indeed in the offending code it would
appear that a workaround is causing this problem - see the patch for
details).

Looking at the upstream issue tracker it would appear to be directly
related to [0].

This could be awkward to fix as we might make it work for openjdk but
break it for the sun-jdk; I've pushed a patched based on [0] into the
separate branch in the git repo (fix-openjdk); this does fix the FTBFS
issue but I'm concerned about the potential regression on non-openjdk
installs.

Take a look and see what you think.

Cheers

James
