Collections of generic types

[Christopher Oezbek]

Hi Guys,
first a big thank you for the great PicoContainer that has simplyfied my
whole programming style a lot.

I am having a problem with Collections/Arrays that should contain objects of
generic types:

First I tried passing as an array:

public MyComponent(GenericType<?>[] preferenceUIs){...

which throws an IllegalArgumentException in
CollectionComponentParameter.getCollectionType():180, which might be because
such an Array is a GenericArrayType (getCollectionType does only check for
Class and ParametrizedType)

and as a Collection:

public MyComponent(List<GenericType<?>> preferenceUIs)

which throws an UnsatisfiableDependenciesException (same if replacing the ?
with Object)

Removing the type parameter List<GenericType> will make it work, but
requires casting.

Are there any known work-arounds?

Cheers,
Christopher
