Array types in bounds

Issue #63 resolved
Erik Hogeman created an issue

JLS version 7, Chapter 4.4 states:

 Every type variable declared as a type parameter has a bound. If no bound is declared for a type variable, Object is assumed. If a bound is declared, it consists of either:
 *  a single type variable T, or
 *  a class or interface type T possibly followed by interface types I1 & ... & In.

JastAddJ currently does not give an error if an array type is used as bound. For example, the following declaration should be invalid because of the array-type in the bound for T:

interface X { 
    <T extends ArrayList<T>[]> T execute(T t);
 }

    There is a check to test that the first type bound is either a type variable, class type, or interface type. This check also allowed array types because it uses the isClassDecl attribute which evaluated to true for ArrayDecl. The simple fix is to add an equation for ArrayDecl so that it is not considered a class type. After testing this change it does not appear that anything else depends on ArrayDecls returning true for isClassDecl.

    ArrayDecl.isClassDecl is now false

    The ArrayDecl.isClassDecl attribute now returns false. This fixes the issue that array types were allowed as type variable bounds.

    fixes #63 (bitbucket)
