A simple question about Class and its generic semantics. Why doesn’t the following code work?

Class<Serializable> s = String.class;

Java tells me that Class<Serializable> and Class<String> are incompatible. How can they be, when String is implementing Serializable?

Shouldn’t generics allow exactly this type of things?

    becauseClass<String> is not Class<Serializable>. However Class<String> is Class<? extends Serializable>
