Fails to serialize/deserialize a class where a super-class has a type parameter about gson HOT 8 CLOSED

Why it is marked as enhancement while it seems to be the bug?

Deferred to a future release

FYI: Guice's TypeLiteral can do full type resolution. This could be adapted for 
use internally in GSON.

Here is a proposed patch for the issue (and associated unit test).

The modification was simply to add a recursive search on all parents super 
classes until the declairing class was found. Then do it again util we end up 
with something that is not a "TypeVariable<?>" (This is done so complex 
hierarchies can work).

Can someone with commit privilege review and approve/reject ?

Thank you.

Thanks for the patch. Adding it as part of the Gson 1.6 release which is set to 
release this coming Friday.

We're planning on fixing this in 1.7.
