Andy Turner answer is correct, however if you need to retrieve a class from a type parameter this is a complete example:

private static class MyClass extends ArrayList {
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

    ParameterizedType arrayListWithParamType
            = (ParameterizedType) MyClass.class.getGenericSuperclass();

    Type integerType = arrayListWithParamType.getActualTypeArguments()[0];

    Class integerClass = (Class) integerType;

    System.out.println(integerClass == Integer.class);
}
