Minimized code

Foo.java

public class Foo<A> {
    public <E> Foo(E i) {}
}

Test.scala

object Test {
  val x1 = new Foo(1)
  val x2 = new Foo[Int](1)
  val x3 = new Foo[Int, Int](1)
}

Output

[error] three errors found
[error] (Compile / compileIncremental) Compilation failed

Expectation

I expect both x1 and x2 to compile cleanly. I only included x3 as a joke, since that is what the compiler urges you to write with that Not enough type arguments error message.
