Java Type Erasure Problem

Question

I\'ve made an example to demonstrate my problem:

Metrical.java

public interface Metrical
{
    double distance(T other);
}

Answer 1

Sorry, the bad news is that you cannot do this:

public class Algorithm> {
    public void compute(Set objects) {
    }

    public void compute(Set> pairs) {
    }
}

Due to erasure, both will erase to the same signature. There is no way around this short of renaming one of the methods.
