How To Maintain List Of Static Class And Instantiate From It

I have a list of uninstanciated class types and I wanted to call a static function from these "Class<? extends PropControl>" (without using reflection) that would create a new corresponding object instance but it appears I cant do that in java so now I want to create a factory that takes a class type as aparameter to create the corresponding object instance but this code dont compile:

Java Code:

public PropControl Create(Class<? extends PropControl> cls)
{
if(cls==HouseControl.class) <---- ERROR
{
here I create a new instance of HouseControl (that inherits PropControl)
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I get this error :

incomparable types: Class<CAP#1> and Class<HouseControl>

where CAP#1 is a fresh type-variable:

CAP#1 extends PropControl from capture of ? extends PropControl

how do I achieve this ?
