Type propagation error

[cal101]

Another Easymock issue where the type parameter is lost:

public void doFile(File f) {

    }
...
public static <T> T capture(final Capture<T> captured) {
        reportMatcher(new Captures<T>(captured));
        return null;
    }
...
protected static class FileContentCapture extends Capture<File> {
}
...
public class Capture<T> implements Serializable {
 public T getValue() {
 }
}
...
void x() {
        final FileContentCapture capturedFileContent = new FileContentCapture();

 doFile(capture(capturedFileContent));
}

Results in:

Caused by: java.lang.Exception: Ops! The method call doFile(capture(capturedFileContent)) is not resolved. The scope is [empty] , and the args are : [ float]

Did it still do not work? My test does.

Could you provide me the list of different "capture" methods the class has?

I will try to build a standalone test case.
This has one: #12 ;-)

I am able to reproduce the issue using EasyMock 3.1.
Look at the javadoc I copied. That explains the problems to do a test case ...

Maybe walkmod should be able to deal with that because libraries may have this. But maybe
it is an edge case that is seldom.

The class contains

    /**
