Thanks Andy,

I agree that there is no practical remnant of generics in the runtime as I 
have poked around with reflection as well, but I think there might be in the 
bytecode, otherwise if I compiled a generic interface, stuck it into a jar 
and gave it to you to link against, the compiler would know nothing about 
the genericness of my interface ? Surely this can't be right as generics DO 
exist at compile time, so I think that there is compile-time generics info 
stashed somewhere in the bytecode that is not loaded at runtime.

What do you reckon ? I don't see how else it could work - but this is all 
supposition - I'd be interested in hearing from someone in the know.

Jules
