Obtaining Class<T[]> without creating an array

Question

Given a Class<T> is there any way to get a Class<T[]> without first creating an array via Array.newInstance? Even that doesn't really do quite what I want because Array.newInstance would return something of type Object, so I'd still be left doing an unchecked cast.

Answer 1

Use Class.forName():

Class<?> arrayofTsClass = Class.forName("[L" + tClass.getName() + ";");
