You're not the only one getting this wrong, so maybe you remember right ;-) The really confusing thing is, that generic types do not exist at runtime for some reason. If they'd kept the class file versions unchanged, this would obviously necessary. But for some reason they broke backwards compatibiliy AND did NOT add runtime generic types (which can get pretty annoying sometimes).
