Redundant generic parameters

Question

I have this two interfaces and classes:

public interface Identifiable {
    T getId();
}

public interface GenericRepository

        

Answer 1

If I am not mistaken generics will all be compiled as if they were just Object. Now the syntax is (hard) checked to ensure that you are not putting apple with oranges because generics were added after the initial design of Java. this is why generics are so constrained...
