Declaring static generic variables in a generic class

Question

I\'ve read that you cannot declare static variables/methods inside a generic class and I really have no idea how to solve my problem or work around it so I ask for your guidance

Answer 1

according to http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/abstract.html

Class Members - An abstract class may have static fields and static methods. You can use these static members with a class reference—for example, AbstractClass.staticMethod()—as you would with any other class.

But I haven't yet tested this myself
