Gernerics Related to Bug #146 and #174

[Valdur5]

Hello,

thanks for providing such a cool documentation framework it works well but one really big thing is still broken, different people described the same problem in Issue 146 and 174.

I want to return a generic List because I don't want to build for every object a wrapper object just for some HATEOAS extra fields. Thats why I want to return a generic Array like this:

public @ApiResponseObject()
ItemCollection getAllMountains() {

I am using JSONdoc 1.2.17

And here is the dump (part of)

java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.TypeVariableImpl cannot be cast to java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType

Can confirm this bug still exists at 1.2.17.
