I have got the following code (part of a big project):

it looks like an explicit type-cast, i.e.,

I am not really having enough information to be sure, but I can say what 
it looks like it me (though not why that should be different in 8 and 7)

Your method call was done using Reflection and an invoke method, which 
takes an Object[] for the arguments. Obviously the method we call will 
have typed parameters, so what happens if the argument runtime types and 
the parameter types do not fit together? You get the mentioned 
IllegalArgumentException.

ExpandoMetaClass. setProperty is use§d to resolve the assignment you 
mentioned. This most likely calls an existing setter method or some 
other java method, that handles the call (CachedMethod.invoke) and it 
does at least the first such call using Reflection (Method.invoke and 
all the MethodAccessor things)
