ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The getAnnotatedBounds(); method of the TypeVariable interface may return AnnotatedType instances where the getType(); method returns null.

class MyClass<T> {
}

TypeVariable<Class<MyClass>> tv = MyClass.class.getTypeParameters()[0];
tv.getAnnotatedBounds()[0].getType() is NULL

I expect that
tv.getAnnotatedBounds()[0].getType() equals tv.getBounds()[0]


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
