Emmanuel Bourg updated BCEL-106:
--------------------------------

    Description: 
LocalVariable object not able to return full signature that contains generics.

Example: I have created a Foo class with the following method:
{code}
public void test(){
   ArrayList<Integer> localVar = new ArrayList<Integer>();
}
{code}
After creating JavaClass from Foo and accessing the {{test()}} method and its local variable, signature reported for localVar is {{"java.util.ArrayList"}}, where Integer generic part is truncated. However, after inspecting the ConstantPool for the Foo class, it does contain
{code}
CONSTANT_Utf8[1] ("Ljava/util/ArrayList<Ljava/lang/Integer;>;")
{code}
Why not simply set the SignatureIndex of the localVar to the correct index within the ConstantPool that also includes the Integer part, or allow LocalVariable to also getAttributes(), where the Signature attribute is properly set to the full signature that includes Integer, as for methods.
