It really helps me to understand about type erasure with the generics example.

Really nice job :)

Heck, in my previous post the generics were cut out from Java source, probably because of HTML tag filtering :(

On the other hand, it seems that the blog engine does its own type erasure ;)

Trying again with HTML entities:

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;

public class GenericList {
public static void main(String[] args) {
List numberList = new LinkedList();
numberList.add(Integer.valueOf(3));
numberList.add(Long.valueOf(Long.MAX_VALUE));
printList(numberList);
}

private static void printList(List printedList) {
System.out.println(“List: ” + printedList);
}
}
