public java.lang.reflect.Type[]getLowerBounds()
Returns the array of types that represent the lower bounds of this type. The default lower bound is {@code null}, in which case an empty array is returned. Since only one lower bound is allowed, the returned array's length will never exceed one.

return
an array containing the lower bounds types
throws
TypeNotPresentException if any of the bounds points to a missing type
throws
MalformedParameterizedTypeException if any of the bounds points to a type that cannot be instantiated for some reason
