Talk:Java Programming/Generics

I am wondoring where the name 'Generics' comes from. Does anyone knows? Ervinn 21:07, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Use Generics other than Collection classes
Is there a need to use Generics other than using it for Java Collections? I am looking for an example ,other than Java Collection classes, where the use of Generics would be handy. Currently I do not see one. Ervinn 15:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Generic constructors
