JDK-6638712 - Inference with wildcard types causes selection of inapplicable method
Description

EVALUATION 6638712 has updated the type-inference in javac. As pointed out by Maurizio, when using contravariant arguments, we should not expect the compiler to infer from the actual arguments as usually the compiler will infer Object as is in the case here. For these tests we can provide the type variables explicitly or simply case the nulls to Void.

EVALUATION There were no changes to this API, implementation, or unit tests in b64. I notice if I compile using tools.jar from the previous build then everything compiles correctly.
