A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Introspector.getBeanInfo throws AssertionError(cause: java.beans.IntrospectionException) when trying to get BeanInfo for a class that specializes return type of indexed getter method in sub-class.

I would expect that indexed and non-indexed properties should be handled by Introspector using similar logic.
In the attached example BeanInfo is generated for class with single non-indexed property,
but fails with AssertionError if we modify the property to be indexed.

I have found similar bug report with a fix for java.beans.PropertyDescriptor:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-dev/jdk/rev/ef26b6c8264d

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run example code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
All assertions should pass
ACTUAL -
AssertionError is thrown from IndexedPropertyDescriptor line 480
