Description

The following code (using Jackson API)

TypeReference<Map<String, String>> mapTypeReference = new TypeReference<Map<String, String>>() {};

fails to compile with @CompileStatic with

[Static type checking] - Cannot use diamond <> with anonymous inner classes

Even though it is valid Java code and should work in Groovy.
