java - Troubleshooting type parameter t hidden type T warning

I am getting a warning in eclipse (the most recent version) for the following code.

public interface A<T> extends B<T> {
     public T getObject();
}

The warning appears at 'T' in 'A' and reads: "The type parameter T is hiding the type T".

The weird part is that the following code generates no errors or warnings.

public interface A extends B<T> {
     public T getObject();
}

But now I can't extend A while telling it what type T is.

I am completely confused. Anyone know why this is happening? Thank You.
