Patch for workaround to build with OpenJDK6

I am trying to build IDEA checked out from git and I get the error below.  Is there a patch or workaround for this error?

Thanks

I have Icetea6 installed  and there was a bugzilla entry (787) reporting this and that was closed as a won't fix....

Reduced test case

The attached test case was derived from IntelliJ IDEA, which fails to build
using IcedTea. The same case works fine with Sun JDK.

Does not work with IcedTea:
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.3) (Gentoo build 1.6.0_22-b22)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)
$ javac IcedTeaTest.java 
IcedTeaTest.java:9: incompatible types; no instance(s) of type variable(s) T
exist so that java.util.Iterator<T> conforms to
java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>
found   : <T>java.util.Iterator<T>
required: java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>
        return TestIterator.create(bar());
                                  ^
1 error

Works with Sun JDK
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_27"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode)
$ javac IcedTeaTest.java 
$ ls
IcedTeaTest.class  IcedTeaTest.java  TestIterator.class

I am getting this also but not sure if it is an icedtea or openjdk issue.

I even tried the mercurial version just to see if it was fixed there.

java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre+r0a0072170876+) (Source Mage
build 1.6.0_24-b24)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

This looks like the same issue as RH706066/S6369605 fixed in OpenJDK7:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/langtools/rev/dc550520ed6f

I've confirmed by applying the patch and trying to re-compile the test.

It was rejected from application to IcedTea. You can find the discussion in
this thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2011-June/014574.html

Since the concerns for backport still stand, I would suggest manually
specifying the type parameters in your code instead of having the compiler
infer them. That is what Denis's patch did for commons-discovery:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISCOVERY-18

I am going to close this as WONTFIX.
