By jclouds:

This is interesting. So, since 795 seems to have a lot of research at this
point, maybe best to raise the issue on jclouds-dev, perhaps
differentiating it from covariant returns.

We have Builder inner classes with builder() static methods everywhere and
these are handy. It would be nice to be able to use these methods on
subclasses, but if it is impossible, well, nothing we can do except
determine a clean alternative design that is forwards compatible with jdk 7.

You mind starting the thread? (after xmas of course :) )
