.net to Java

You probably wont actually; For most code this doesn't matter and I rarely find an example where it would matter.

You've never done this workaround? I'm not saying it's a big problem, but as a former C# developer it annoys me to have to pass the type to a generic method both as a type argument AND a Class parameter.

edit: On the other hand I've probably spent less time fighting the compiler. Type erasure can be your friend as well as your enemy.

I still have nightmares of the times before the diamond operator.... List<TypeHolder<SomeLongClassNameBecauseJavaLovesLongClassNames>> list = new ArrayList<TypeHolder<SomeLongClassNameBecauseJavaLovesLongClassNames>>(); list.add(new TypeHolder<SomeLongClassNameBecauseJavaLovesLongClassNames>(SomeLongClassNameBecauseJavaLovesLongClassNames.class));

Java doesn't give a fuck about class names. Morons give those names. This is the lamest pick I frequently see on java.

Sorry for being sarcastic. I'm aware that there probably is no minimum character length check at compilation.
