Generics and Class.forName

Question

I would like to create an instance of a specified class using its name. My code is shown below.

I get a compiler warning. Am I doing this the right way? Is it even p

Answer 1

I found an interesting thing: Type can be converted to Class directly if it is not a generic type. But i still can not Class.forName("java.util.List").

import java.lang.reflect.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Main {
    public void func(List> listlist, Map> list, String s) {}

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException {
        Method m = Main.class.getDeclaredMethods()[1];

        Type t0 = m.getGenericParameterTypes()[0];
        boolean b0 = t0 instanceof Class;

        boolean b01 = ((ParameterizedType)t0).getRawType() instanceof Class;

        Type t1 = m.getGenericParameterTypes()[2];
        boolean b1 = t1 instanceof Class;
    }
}
