A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
The title says it all. It ruins the type safety of it. Strangely, getConstructor() does return Constructor<T>.

JUSTIFICATION :
Much code cannot run with it like this and I can think of no reason why the API should be phrased this way.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Return Constructor<T>[], not Constructor[].

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I have patched the source to java/lang/Class.java, it compiles and seems to test out OK. Unfortunately, code developed with the patched RT cannot be run on client's machines since they want to use virgin RTs.
