Cannot instantiate bean in Spring when using annotations and when it extends generic abstract class compiled to java 1.4 byte code using JSR14 whcih allows you to use generics in your java source but then compile it to java 1.4 byte code.

Major problem for me since I have beans which I can instantiate fine programatically but cannot instantiate using Spring

We should be able to code defensively there, detecting MalformedParameterizedTypeExceptions and simply skipping the superclass part of our algorithm in that case. This affects quite a few places, not just annotation-based configuration; we'll try to fine-tune all of those places for 4.0 M1 and 3.2.3 (to be released towards the end of this week).

That was quick. Much appreciated.
