collecting Stream results in ClassCastException - java-stream

Question

I'm experiencing a ClassCastException with the following piece of code.
var temp = set.stream().flatMap(Arrays::stream).toArray(Token[]::new);
I also tried collecting into a set, but I got the same error.
var temp = set.stream().flatMap(Arrays::stream).collect(Collectors.toSet());
set is declared as a Set<Token[]>, but when debugging it says Set<Object[]>.
Edit:
I've narrowed down the issue to the method subsetsWithMinSize. Eventhough I call it with:
new Sets<Token>().subsetsWithMinSize(value, x);
it seems to return a Set<Object[]>. Can someone tell me why that is and how to fix it?
Here is the method subsetsWithMinSize:
public Set<T[]> subsetsWithMinSize(List<T> list, int min) {
Set<T[]> res = new HashSet<>();
for (int i = 0; i <= list.size() - min; i++)
for (int j = 0; list.size() - j >= i + min; j++) {
List<T> temp = new ArrayList<>();
for (int k = i; k < list.size() - j; k++) temp.add(list.get(k));
res.add((T[]) temp.toArray());
}
return res;
}

So after you guys helped me to minimise the search scope I found the issue.
When I was using (T[]) to cast it wouldn't work, because after type erasure T would just be cast to an Object. Here's the thread I found the answer on: How to properly return generic array in Java generic method?.
So to finally correct the code I had to change the method a little by using Array.newInstance() and put in Class<T> to make it work:
public Set<T[]> subsetsWithMinSize(Class<T> clazz, List<T> list, int min) {
Set<T[]> res = new HashSet<>();
for (int i = 0; i <= list.size() - min; i++)
for (int j = 0; list.size() - j >= i + min; j++) {
List<T> temp = new ArrayList<>();
for (int k = i; k < list.size() - j; k++)
temp.add(list.get(k));
var arr = (T[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, temp.size());
IntStream.range(0, temp.size()).forEach(k -> arr[k] = temp.get(k));
res.add(arr);
}
return res;
}
It uses Array.newInstance() to make T[] (cast is still necessary for the compiler) and then just copies temp into that array.
Another option would be to use lists instead of arrays, which is the better way.
Reference from Effective Java:
In Summary, arrays and generics have very different type rules. Arrays are covariant and reified; generics are invariant and erased. As a consequcne, arrays provide runtime type safety but not compile-time type safety and vice versa for generics. Generally speaking, arrays and generics don’t mix well. If you find yourself mixing them and getting compile-time error or warnings, your first impulse should be to replace the arrays with lists.
The issue with that is that, for my use at least, lists use an unnecessarily big amount of space. Combined with the fact that I am making a powerset of the results later everything would just run super slow.
