JavaC issues implementing generics

The article describes a specific issue where a Java class with complex generics compiles in Eclipse but fails with javac. It involves a static factory method pattern from 'Effective Java' and a bug in javac's type inference order. The author explains the problem, shares communication with compiler experts, and provides a solution by reordering generic parameters in the method signature.
