In the interim, I offer the following Java code to the world. That was the approach used by C# when generics were introduced, but Java did not take this approach because of the huge amount of pre-existing Java code using collections. Suppose you have Java classes The answer to this riddle is that Java is designed to work with all kinds of generic classes, not just those which are collection-like. It allows a method to operate on objects of various types while providing compile-time safety. Chapter 5 deals with all kinds of backward and forward compatibility issues related to generics.
