Java Generics: Array containing generics [duplicate]

Answer 1

It isn't ideal, but you can do this sort of thing:

import java.util.LinkedList;

public class Test
{
    static class HashTable
    {
        public HashTable(int size)
        {
            LinkedList[] table = (LinkedList[])java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(LinkedList.class, size);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        HashTable table = new HashTable(23);
    }
}
