What japi run were you looking at exactly? It's not showing as missing in
http://www.kaffe.org/~stuart/japi/htmlout/cvs/h-jdk15-classpath-generics.html

If you're not looking at the cvs runs, you should be, *especially* if you're
looking to work on generics stuff (Boolean.compareTo is an implementation of a
method in the Comparable<Boolean> interface).

I know, I know, I need to make the cvs runs the default so people aren't looking
at bad data. Mea culpa. But in the meantime...

(oh, and compareTo(Object) is a compiler-generated bridge method; CVS japi knows
to ignore those but the non-cvs version doesn't)
