Forked from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=93377 (bug 5 there).
Reproduced with 3.1 RC1 (aka build  I20050527-1300).

On the following code:
public class X<T> {
  protected static final Class<X<?>> theClass = (Class<X<?>>) X.class;
}
Eclipse reports a warning:
Severity	Description	Resource	In Folder	Location	Creation Time
Type safety: The cast from Class<X> to Class<X<?>> is actually checking against
the erased type Class
whereas javac reports an error:
X.java:2: inconvertible types
found   : java.lang.Class<X>
required: java.lang.Class<X<?>>
        protected static final Class<X<?>> theClass = (Class<X<?>>) X.class;
                                                                     ^
