    <p>todd.run is totally right on, but that's only half the answer. There are also use cases for choosing <code>&lt;T&gt;</code> over <code>&lt;?&gt;</code> (or vice versa) that apply when you don't add type parameter to the class that encloses the method. For example, consider the difference between </p> <pre><code>public &lt;E extends JLabel&gt; boolean add(List&lt;E&gt; j) { boolean t = true; for (JLabel b : j) { if (b instanceof JLabel) { t = t &amp;&amp; labels.add(b); } } return t; } </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>public boolean add(List&lt;? extends JLabel&gt; j) { boolean t = true; for (JLabel b : j) { if (b instanceof JLabel) { t = t &amp;&amp; labels.add(b); } } return t; } </code></pre> <p>The first method will actually not compile UNLESS you add an appropriate type parameter to the enclosing class, whereas the second method WILL compile regardless of whether the enclosing class has a type parameter. If you do not use <code>&lt;?&gt;</code>, then you are locally responsible for telling the compiler how to acquire the type that will be filled in by the letter used in its place. You frequently encounter this problem - needing to use ? rather than T - when attempting to write generic methods that use or need "extends" and "super." A better but more elaborate treatment of this issue is on page 18 of <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/pdf/generics-tutorial.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gilad Bracha's Generics Tutorial (PDF)</a>. Also see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/695298/java-field-type-for-a-value-of-a-generically-recusive-self-type">this stack overflow question</a> whose answer illuminates these issues.</p> <p>Check out this stack overflow link for information about your second question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/339699/java-generics-type-erasure-when-and-what-happens">Java generics - type erasure - when and what happens</a>. While I don't know the answer to your question about the compile time difference between <code>&lt;?&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;T&gt;</code>, I'm pretty sure the answer can be found at <a href="http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/FAQSections/TechnicalDetails.html#FAQ001" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this FAQ</a> that erickson mentioned in that post.</p>

    3. COThis answer doesn't make sense and is not correct. I put the first method in a class without a type parameter (`public class test { List<JLabel> labels = new ArrayList<JLabel>(); // add method here }`) and it compiles fine.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
