Question

i have a method:

public Object instantiateAlmostAnyType(String stringToParse, Class<?> targetType) {
  ...
  if (targetType.isEnum())
    return Enum.valueOf((Class)targetType, stringToParse);
}

it works but i got compiler warnings. all for the return line:

Class is a raw type. References to generic type Class should be parameterized
Enum is a raw type. References to generic type Enum should be parameterized
Type safety: The expression of type Class needs unchecked conversion to conform to Class
Type safety: Unchecked invocation valueOf(Class, String) of the generic method valueOf(Class, String) of type Enum

is there any way (except @suppressWarnings) to avoid warnings? any casts?

Answer 1

till now i haven’t found a solution so i assume it’s impossible. if someone gives me the answer i will accept it
