When creating the cast from a generic type parameter (which is currently always JLO),
global::
is not prepended to the type cast.This creates a compilation error if the bound type is in a namespace that ends in "Java", like "MyProduct.Java".
Fix this by ensuring the cast output goes through our standard type formatting method which adds
global::
when needed.
