AbstractFactoryBean.getObjectType() signature is incorrect [SPR-6872]

[spring-projects-issues]

Kenny MacLeod opened SPR-6872 and commented

For #11358, the return type of FactoryBean.getObjectType() was changed from Class<? extends T> to Class<?>. This is great, but unfortunately, the correspinding abstract method in AbstractFactoryBean wasn't changed, so any classes which extend AbstractFactoryBean cannot use the wider return type.

Good catch - I've adapted AbstractFactoryBean's signature as well now. Will be available in tonight's 3.0.2 snapshot.
