    GROOVY-7721: Static type checking fails when compiling against a Java interface call

    Arrays is also covariants in java, so they should be also compared. 
    Can't find exact documentation, but  JLS 15.12.2.5 says:
    – Otherwise, if all the maximally specific methods are abstract or default, and
    the signatures of all of the maximally specific methods have the same erasure
    (§4.6), then the most specific method is chosen arbitrarily among the subset
    of the maximally specific methods that have the most specific return type.
