[mono-android] Failure to package/build with generic class inheriting from JavaList<T>

[Felix Collins]

Hi,
I've got a class that inherits from JavaList<T>. It was building ok in the last version of mono for android but now with mono for android 4 it doesn't work.

My class declaration is...
     public partial class NotifyingList<T> : Android.Runtime.JavaList<T>

Any ideas or workarounds?

Is this the same as http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1403   ?

Cheers,
Felix
