I am surprised the above code builds with 6. It shouldn't.
Java erases types when writing bytecode:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/erasure.html
Essentially, the above code is wrong based on Java's implementation
because the bytecode is ending up 2 unwrap methods that both take
"List".
I would suggest fixing the code to change the method names. It may be
working at runtime with 6 for now, but can break any time.
Cheers,
Deepak
