Description

The problem is the getComponent method. In Configuration, it's defined so:

<T> T getComponent(String name);

But in BaseConfiguration, it is overridden like this:

@Override
public Object getComponent(final String name)

When I compile against log4j with lint, I get this warning:

       [javac] public class MyConfiguration extends BaseConfiguration
       [javac]        ^
       [javac]   return type requires unchecked conversion from Object to T
       [javac]   where T is a type-variable:
       [javac]     T extends Object declared in method <T>getComponent(String)
