Java Generics not working

Question

Why Generics not working in my machine. Why below code not working in Eclipse without Type casting to the String. I am using Java 1.6

package com.wi         


        

Answer 1

This statement can't give any error if you are using java 1.5 or greater. But if you are using some older version than

List list = new ArrayList();

will give error. First you will have to solve this issue than type cast will come.
