I have an interface:

public interface IMech {

}

and a class that implements it

public class Email implements IMech {

}

and a third class that has this method implemented:

public void sendNotification( Class< IMech > mechanism ){
}

now I'm trying to call that method like so

foo.sendNotification(Email.class);

but i keep getting an exception saying:

The method sendNotification(Class<IMechanism>) in the type RemediationOperator is not applicable for the arguments (Class<EmailNotification>)

Shouldn't this work if it interfaces that class?
