In this issue...

In this issue, we have a detailed article on Generics in Java: Part-I.

Abstract: Java 5 (JDK 1.5) introduced the concept of Generics or parameterized types. In this article, I introduce the concepts of Generics and show you examples of how to use it. In Part II, we will look at how Generics are actually implemented in Java and some issues with the use of Generics.
