Changes in access of variables for generic classes in Java 7

Question

Here is a simple example of some code that compiles using Java 6, but does not compile in Java 7.

public class Test {

  private final         


        

Answer 1

See @pingw33n's comment for the answer, but the way to fix this is to remove the generic parameters on the nested class. Unless you have a use case where the inner and outer T's can be different, they are redundant. All they are doing is causing this grief.
