Problem referencing to methods with generic type parameters

Question

Assuming I have an interface like to following:
public interface Test <T> {
void test ( T arg0 );
void test ( T arg0, Object arg1 );
I would like to reference to both "test"-methods using "{@link #test(T)}" and "{@link #test(T,Object)}".But this generates an error telling me "test(T)" and "test(T,Object)" cannot be found.
Changing T to Object in the documentation works and has as interesing effect. The generated link text is "test(Object)" but the generated link is "test(T)".
Am I somehow wrong? Or is this a known issue? And is there a workaround other than using "Object" instead of "T"?

Hi,
I bumped into the same problem when documenting a generic.
After quite a while of search your posting led me to the solution.
My code goes something like this:
public class SomeIterator<E> implements Iterator<E> {
  public SomeIterator(E[] structToIterate) {
}When I tried to use @see or @link with the constructor Javadoc never found it.
After I changed the documentation code to
@see #SomeIterator(Object[])it worked.
Since both taglets offer the use of a label, one can easily use these to produce comments that look correct:
@see #SomeIterator(Object[]) SomeIterator(E[])CU
