compilation via maven fails due to generics bug in javac

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The following javac error occurs when trying to compile gson using Maven.
(this probably was not caught since Googlers use Eclipse)

[INFO] Compilation failure
/home/jdumay/code/google/gson/trunk/gson/src/main/java/com/google/gson/Gson.java
:[446,23]
type parameters of <T>T cannot be determined; no unique maximal instance
exists for type variable T with upper bounds T,java.lang.Object

And its a bug in javac!
