Java generics - topics

We will learn Java generics on Sunday 18-2-2007. The following topics will be covered.
  • Moving from arrays to raw collections to type safe collections
  • Usage of generics in JDK 1.5
  • An example of using generified lists - UsingGenerifiedCollections.java
  • Using objects whose type is a subtype of the generified type
  • Passing a reference of a generified object to another method - UpcastingOfParameterizedTypes.java
  • Wildcards
  • Upper and lower bounding with wildcards
  • Erasure
As I had mentioned earlier, our focus will be to learn how to use libraries that are implemented with generics, and not how to create our own generified libraries.

Sun has a good tutorial to get started.
