Using generics results in more robust code and avoids ClassCastExceptions in your Java programs. This in-depth tutorial introduces you to generics and their types and methods. Generics are used in ...

An unbounded type parameter can represent any non-primitive type (since Java generics do not support primitive types directly). Maximum flexibility: Unbounded generics are completely type-agnostic ...

Java generics are less powerful than their C++ counterparts, but very simple to apply. Java generic classes are compiled into bytecodes, assuming java.lang.Object for all type parameters (or, ...

He called it "an informal sketch" of his proposed Java/JVM enhancements to support generics over primitives and, eventually, value types. In another paper ("State of Value Types"), Goetz, along with ...
