Duplicate :	JDK-8054213 - Class name repeated in output of Type.toString()
Relates :	JDK-8020194 - Class.getGenericInterfaces()[index].toString() duplicates outer class name
Relates :	JDK-5033583 - (reflect) need toGenericString methods

Description

This code:
    System.out.println(java.util.Map.class.getMethod("entrySet").getGenericReturnType());
produces this output:
    java.util.Set<java.util.Map.java.util.Map$Entry<K, V>>
rather than the expected:
    java.util.Set<java.util.Map$Entry<K, V>>

This is with Tiger and with Mustang b68.

Comments

Same as JDK-8020194, issue is solved in JDK 9 b129. After analysis and simple debugging issue confirmed to be a duplicate of JDK-8054213.
