rawtypes compiler warning on generic array creation

I do understand, that one cannot create array of generic class in java, e.g.

  private static final Class<String>[] ARGUMENT_TYPE = new Class<String>[]{String.class};

So I have used the raw type:

  private static final Class[] ARGUMENT_TYPE = new Class[]{String.class};

But now java compiler complains

warning: [rawtypes] found raw type: Class

private static final Class[] ARGUMENT_TYPE = new Class[]{String.class};

Is there any way aside from SuppressWarnings to say to the compiler: "shut up, I have to do this by your own specification!"

I'm not quite sure how you plan to use this static array. Some additional context would be nice.

How about this?

private static final Class<?>[] ARGUMENT_TYPE = new Class<?>[]{String.class, Int.class};
