title: How can one make an array of type Class<? extends something>?
body: <p>I have the following code, but it won't compile:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Class&lt;? extends something&gt;[] classes = new Class&lt;? extends something&gt;[5]();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why exactly won't this work? And is there a way around this? I also tried it with <code>Class&lt;?&gt;</code> and that didn't work either.</p>
