java为什么这种对泛型方法的重写适用于1.6，而不是1.7？

Question

给定以下类，该类重写AbstractListModel中的getListeners方法：

import java.util.EventListener;
import javax.swing.AbstractListModel;

public class GenericBug extends AbstractListModel {

/**
 * This is the method of interest
     * This is the exact same method signature that is present in the base class
 */
@Override
public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType) {
    // do something useful here...
    return super.getListeners(listenerType);
}

// Not important here
@Override
public int getSize() {
    return 0;
}
@Override
public Object getElementAt(int index) {
    return null;
}
}

这个类使用Oracle1.6JDK编译得很好。使用Oracle1.7JDK尝试完全相同的类时，我收到了编译错误，称存在名称冲突，但该方法没有被重写（但它是！！）

以下是我在使用JDK7时遇到的错误：

% /usr/java/jdk1.7.0/bin/javac GenericBug.java
GenericBug.java:10: error: name clash: <T#1>getListeners(Class<T#1>) in GenericBug and <T#2>getListeners(Class<T#2>) in AbstractListModel have the same erasure, yet neither overrides the other
        public <T extends EventListener> T[] getListeners(Class<T> listenerType) {
                                             ^
  where T#1,T#2 are type-variables:

Note: GenericBug.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.

有人能给我解释一下发生了什么事吗？这是JDK1中的编译器错误吗。还是我遗漏了什么
