Hello there,

how can I make the compile error go away? The marked line is wrong:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class<capture#2-of ?> to Class<T>

   /**
    * Copies the specified array to a new array with the same component
    * type and length as the given array.
    * @param <T> the type of the array elements
    * @param src the array to be copied
    * @return the copy
    */
   public static final <T> T[] arraycopy( T[] src )
   {
     Class<T> componentType = src.getClass().getComponentType(); // !!!!
     @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
     T[] dest = (T[]) Array.newInstance( componentType, src.length );
     System.arraycopy( src, 0, dest, 0, src.length );
     return dest;
   }

I'd be grateful for a hint.
