checking casts

When trying to compile something I was working on today, I got this error based on a performing a cast:

PuzzleSolver.java:311: warning: [unchecked] unchecked cast
found   : java.lang.Object
required: java.util.Vector<Piece>
                            piecesClone = (Vector<Piece>)pieces.clone();

I know it's a safe cast, but just for the sake of getting javac to leave me alone I tried sticking it in a try...catch block:

Vector<Piece> piecesClone=null;
try{
   piecesClone = (Vector<Piece>)pieces.clone();
}catch(ClassCastException cce){
   System.out.println("This is just so javac will shut up");
}

I still get the warning from the compiler though, so I'm assuming this *isn't* the correct way to check a cast. Any tips on what *is* then?
