    <p>In your third point, "T" cannot be resolved because its not declared, usually when you declare a generic class you can use "T" as the name of the <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/bounded.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bound type parameter</a>, many online examples including <strike><a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/gentypes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">oracle's tutorials</a></strike> use "T" as the name of the type parameter, say for example, you declare a class like:</p> <pre><code>public class FooHandler&lt;T&gt; { public void operateOnFoo(T foo) { /*some foo handling code here*/} } </code></pre> <p>you are saying that <code>FooHandler's</code> <code>operateOnFoo</code> method expects a variable of type "T" which is declared on the class declaration itself, with this in mind, you can later add another method like</p> <pre><code>public void operateOnFoos(List&lt;T&gt; foos) </code></pre> <p>in all the cases either T, E or U there all identifiers of the type parameter, you can even have more than one type parameter which uses the syntax</p> <pre><code>public class MyClass&lt;Atype,AnotherType&gt; {} </code></pre> <p>in your forth ponint although efectively Sting is a sub type of Object, in generics classes there is no such relation, <code>List&lt;String&gt;</code> is not a sub type of <code>List&lt;Object&gt;</code> they are two diferent types from the compiler point of view, this is best explained in <a href="http://thegreyblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/java-generics-tutorial-part-ii.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog entry</a></p>
