How to access the .class from a class with a Generic?

Question

When it comes to classes without generics, i can access this .class attribute like this:

class Foo{
    Class getMyClass(){
        return Foo.cla         


        

Answer 1

There isn't a way, because of type erasure. This:

Foo.class

... can not be obtained at runtime, it will always be the same type no matter what's the type of T. At runtime only this exists:

Foo.class
