Type mismatch: cannot convert from...

[tiller]

Hi,

Currently on 4.40M2 I have an issue with the following code:

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Stream.of(MyInterface.class.getName()).map(className -> {
            try {
                return Class.forName(className).asSubclass(MyInterface.class);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new RuntimeException(e);
            }
        });
    }

    interface MyInterface {
    }

It fails with:
Type mismatch: cannot convert from Class<capture#4-of ? extends Test2.MyInterface> to Class<Test2.MyInterface> Test2.java /test2/src/test line 13 Java Problem

Code compiles OK with javac

Not entirely sure whether it's a regression or not, because the code is new on our base code and I did not try it with previous eclipse versions

Not a recent regression, code is rejected by all versions of ecj supporting Java 1.8, i.e., since Eclipse Compiler for Java(TM) v20140604-1726, 3.10.0

Only the exact error message has changed between 4.6 and 4.7.
