[Bug-kawa] [bug #42713] MalformedParameterizedTypeException thrown when compiling

[Matthieu Vachon]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #42713 (project kawa):

> As far as I can tell, it's not actually malformed. Rather the issue appears
to be that Kawa can't access teh classes involved. 

I think I might have understand the problem. The following java snippet fails
with MalformedException:


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Class clazz = ResourcesPlugin.class;
        Field[] fields = clazz.getDeclaredFields();
        Field field = fields[33];

        field.getGenericType();
    }


But this one fails with `error: type ServiceRegistration does not take
parameters`:


public class TestParameterizedType {
    public static class Service {
        private ServiceRegistration<IWorkspace> workspaceRegistration;
    }
}


It appears that `ResourcesPlugin` was compiled with Java5 while
`ServiceRegistration` with Java4. Hence, this might explain why the call to
`getGenericType` fails when trying to access `ServiceRegistration` generic
type.

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning with the permission check. What kind
of permission would Kawa check exactly?
