Master does not build: type parameters of <T>org.hamcrest.Matcher<java.lang.Iterable<? super T>> cannot be determined

[matthewfarwell]

When I try and build master (using ant dist), I get:

build:
    [mkdir] Created dir: d:\code\junit\d\junit\target\main
    [javac] Compiling 164 source files to d:\code\junit\d\junit\target\main
    [javac] d:\code\junit\d\junit\src\main\java\org\junit\matchers\JUnitMatchers.java:34: type parameters of <T>org.hamcrest.Matcher<java.lang.Iterable<? super T>> cannot be determined; no unique maximal instance exists for type variable T with upper bounds T,java.lang.Object
    [javac]         return CoreMatchers.hasItem(elementMatcher);
     [javac]                                   ^
    [javac] Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
    [javac] Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
    [javac] 1 error

Also, when I remove this error, there are a lot of warnings when building the javadoc (can't find org.hamcrest.*).

This is on Windows jdk1.6.0_22, ant 1.8.1.

This has also been reported in #474. Please see my comment there.

In addition, I have opened a separate, new issue to discuss the Javadoc generation warnings: #487.
