Java 1.5 Generics
[238 byte] By [BigPhonya] at [2007-10-2 2:56:26] 
I was reading the online tutorial of java generics and found this line:<code>List<String>[] lsa = new List<String>[10]; // not really allowed</code>Why is that not really allowed?
Arrays were not refitted to accept generics. The reason is explained and illustrated by the section Arrays on this page: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/generics/fineprint.htmlTher is some discussion of potential future changes to the situation.
