does Java type erasure erase my generic type?

Question

I\'ve thought java erasure wipes generic types out in compile time however when i test it by myself i realized there are some information about generic types in Bytecode.

Answer 1

Type info will be erased from here

 integerList = new ArrayList(); 

in the bytecode it will be equivalent to

integerList = new ArrayList(); 

and there is no chance to know in runtime from integerList object what was its compile time type.
