Java Generics

Java Generics has been around since Java version 1.5 but I have not been using it quite much yet due to the fact "Generified code" can only run under version 1.5 JVM onward. With the requirements to maintain earlier JVM support, we have intentionly stayed away from the Generics. However new code created for Java 1.5 or onward JVM, should start to use Generics for type safe collection etc. More information can be found: java.sun.com website.
