Java generics - overriding an abstract method and having return type of the subclass

Question

I am trying to create a set up where a set of subclasses override a superclass. This superclass contains an abstract method - the return type of which would ideally be that of t

Answer 1

How about this:

public abstract class SuperClass> {
   public abstract T getSelf();
}

public class SubClass extends SuperClass {
     public SubClass getSelf() {
         return this;
     }
}

I know it's quite repetitive and nothing bounds the type to be the same SubClass instance, because also AnotherSubClass would satisfy the bound, but at least it should do the trick.
