      Class c = TypeVariable.class;
      Type[] types = c.getGenericInterfaces();
   }
}

Exception in thread "main"


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
See code

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The problem comes when a type parameter extends an interface
<E extends Comparable> fail
<E Extends Object &Comparable> work
