>                 Key: GROOVY-7907
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7907
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Static compilation
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.7
>         Environment: Groovy 2.4.7 (tested also with 2.4.4)
>            Reporter: Marcin Zajaczkowski
>            Assignee: Paul King
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 2.4.8
>
>
> Static compilation fails when method is parameterized and there are varargs arguments which are not used in the call.
> {code}
> Error:(9, 23) Groovyc: [Static type checking] - Cannot assign value of type java.lang.Object to variable of type Ext.
> {code}
> Simple classes to reproduce the problem:
> {code}
> public class FooInJava { //needs to be in Java, a class in Groovy works fine
>     <T> T create(Class<T> type, Object... args) { return null; }
> }
> class Ext {}
> @CompileStatic
> class FooMain {
>     static void main(String[] args) {
>         Ext create = new FooInJava().create(Ext) //casting is required to make compilation pass
>     }
> }
> {code}
> It only occurs if a class with unfortunate method signature is written in Java and static compilation is enabled. Casting to the right type helps. Originally spotted with Gradle - `ExtensionContainer.create(...)`.
