Description err 2015-02-18 22:54:20 UTC 
The following

    class General {
        class Item { }

        static Item[] gen(
                Collection<? extends Item> col)
        {

            Item[] items = col.toArray(new Item[0]);  //<<<<<< hint

            return items;
        }
    }


gives the bogus hint. Applying the fix does *not* change the code.
