Hi all,
The following fragment gives ClassCastException without any reason that I
can explain.
<I got Item class extends Object>
ArrayList aList = new ArrayList() ;
for(int i=0; i < 10;++i)
    aList.add( new Item() ) ;

Item [] list = (Item []) aList.toArray() ; <-- this line give class cast
exception
