IType's API specification for getSuperInterfaceTypeSignatures() and getSuperInterfaceNames() both mention that "An empty collection is returned..." in the method description itself and the @return tag when they actually return String arrays.

This is consistent with most of the other Eclipse Platform APIs (when returning an array, they either mention "list", "set" or "collection").

Note that collection is spelled with a lower-case 'c'. If it was "Collection" I would agree this needs to be changed.

Won't fix.
