Why can't I create an Array whose component type is a wildcard parameterized type?

Don't know, but I do know you cannot create an array of parameterised types. It has to do with erasure. But I do know that there have been posts about similar topics in the past (not in the last few weeks) which you should find on a search of JavaRanch.
