Get type of a generic parameter in Java with reflection

Question

Is it possible to get the type of a generic parameter?

An example:

public final class Voodoo {
    public static void chill(List aListWithTy         


        

Answer 1

This is impossible because generics in Java are only considered at compile time. Thus, the Java generics are just some kind of pre-processor. However you can get the actual class of the members of the list.
