How to build an Object array out of JSON array using Javascript overlay types?

My JSON response is an array of Object (Folder for example). I would like to generate an array of Folder objects using Javascript overlay types.

I tried the following method:

public static final native Folder[] buildFoldersArray(String json) /*-{
    return eval('(' + json + ')');
}-*/;

And the usage:

Folder[] folders = Folder.buildFoldersArray(myJSON);

Note: Folder extends JavaScriptObject as it should.

And the error I get:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject$ cannot be cast to [Lcom.cnario.project.client.Folder;

What is the right way of retrieving objects array using JS Overlay types?

---

Problem solved: evaluation should return JsArrey<E> instead of E[]:

public static final native JsArray<Folder> buildFoldersArray(String json) /*-{      
    return eval('(' + json + ')');
}-*/;

Example usage:

JsArray<Folder> folder = Folder.buildFoldersArray(json);
item = new TreeItem(folder.get(0).getName());
