Missing error message for generics on var

[joeseibel]

An error should be reported when there are generics on var, but the JDT compiler does not complain and compiles anyway. The following class currently compiles and runs, but an error should be reported:

package test;

import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        System.out.println(list.size());
    }
}

When I run this class through javac, the following error is produced:

Test.java:7: error: illegal reference to restricted type 'var'
		var<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
		^

Cool. Looks like ecj ignores the generic part on var completely, which leads to such code to be accepted too:
var<Number> list = new ArrayList<String>();
