Down from the above method, in {{StaticTypeCheckingSupport}}:
{code:java}
    private static GenericsType applyGenericsContext(Map<String, GenericsType> spec, GenericsType gt) {
        if (gt.isPlaceholder()) { // returns false for "LE;" -- gt.getType() returns "E -> java.lang.Object[]"; placeholder is set on the component type
{code}

>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Static compilation
>            Reporter: M. Justin
>            Priority: Major
>
> A compilation error occurs when using static compilation and attempting to assign the result of a method that returns a parameterized argument that contains an array in the type parameter.  The equivalent Java code has no issues.
> Here is a specific example:
> {code}@CompileStatic
> class ArrayGenericsIssue {
>   static void main(String[] args) {
>     Optional<Integer[]> value = testArrayMethod(1) //This fails to compile
>   }
>   static <E> Optional<E[]> testArrayMethod(E ignored) {
>     return Optional.empty()
>   }
> }{code}
> The error returned is:
> {code}Error:(11, 33) Groovyc: [Static type checking] - Incompatible generic argument types. Cannot assign java.util.Optional <E[]> to: java.util.Optional <Integer[]>{code}
> The expected behavior is that this code would compile and run successfully with @CompileStatic enabled.
> Note that equivalent code with a non-array generic parameter works just fine:
> {code}
>   static void main(String[] args) {
>     Optional<List<Integer>> value = testListMethod(1)
>   }
>   static <E> Optional<List<E>> testListMethod(E ignored) {
>     return Optional.empty()
>   }
> {code}
> Additionally, there is no compilation issue if the value is cast:
> {code}Optional<Integer[]> value = (Optional<Integer[]>) testArrayMethod(1){code}
> For some context, I'm running into this issue when working with [jOOQ|https://www.jooq.org/], as some of its API involves working with array type parameters.
