Generics are commonly used in the Java Collections Framework, but they can also be used with code elements such as Class, Comparable, and ThreadLocal. Generics enhance type safety by preventing ...

Generics in Java enhance the type safety of your code and make it easier to read. In my last article, I introduced the general concepts of generics and showed examples from the Java Collections ...

Generics can solve many more problems than collections. Use generics to write code once and reuse it more easily.

Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 5 introduced a new feature called generics that lets you specify the type of objects in collections.

The project's goals include a major overhaul of Java's generics, a new approach to generic typing, and new support for value types.

The Collections Framework relies on a set of abstract data structures represented by interfaces that describe them based on the operations they support, from the most generic to the most specialized.

Apache Collections supports generics, so that's not a reason to choose one over the other. If the collections you need are available in it, I'd probably lean towards Guava, though.
