Exception after upgrade from 3.47.0 to 3.48.0

[romani]

Sorry for not following template, I will update as required a bit later:

As explained in the instructions for submitting an issue at https://checkerframework.org/manual/#reporting-bugs, please include four pieces of information:

• commands (that can be cut-and-pasted into a command shell),
• inputs,
• outputs, and
• expectation.

detected at checkstyle/checkstyle#15731

commands:

git clone git@github.com:checkstyle/checkstyle.git
cd checkstyle
mvn -e --no-transfer-progress clean compile  -Pchecker-index,no-validations

with groovy:

./.ci/checker-framework.groovy checker-index

this groovy just wraps execution to handle suppressions after mvn is finished.

exception:

Warning:  /home/runner/work/checkstyle/checkstyle/src/main/java/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/
xpath/iterators/ReverseListIterator.java:[53,25] [type.argument.inference.crashed]
 Type argument inference crashed for ArrayList constructor
  error: An exception occurred: class org.checkerframework.framework.type
.AnnotatedTypeMirror$AnnotatedTypeVariable cannot be cast to class

(org.checkerframework.framework.type.AnnotatedTypeMirror$AnnotatedTypeVariable and 
org.checkerframework.framework.type.AnnotatedTypeMirror$AnnotatedWildcardType are 
in unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader @15bb6bea)

Expected: no exceptions.

Thanks for reporting! I think this is the same crash that I fixed in #6850. I'm going to do a bug fix release today including that fix. So, if the crash is not fixed after that release, please let us know.
