I have a convert method, which takes a String and a class as arguments and constructs an object of the given class, which will be returned.

The usage should look like this

Something s = Converter.convert("...", Something.class)

Is it possible to express this with Java generics?

    It would be:

    Class<T>
    

    i.e.

    public static <T> T convert(String source, Class<T> tClass)
