Question

Are there any good quick reference guides out there (preferably online) for Java Generics from the perspective of someone with complete understanding of C# Generics? I find that the syntax is so similar that I expect it to just work and then I run into unfamiliar Java syntax like this:

Class<?> foo;

which I thought was similar to the C#:

Type<T> foo;

but that doesn’t really seem to make sense in the context that I’m seeing it. Especially since there is a lack of context for T like there would be in C#.

http://www.jprl.com/Blog/archive/development/2007/Aug-31.html has a fairly good post on the topic.

There is a post here as well with some further discussion that may be helpful
