I\'ve been using this site for about 6 months now, and its time to ask my first question, because I cant find the answer to this, atleast not an answer that I can understand!

    In the first case, you have bounded your generic type parameters to be subtype of the interface itself, whereas, in the second case, you can have any type as generic type parameter. So, they are potentially different declarations.

    For example, you can define a reference like:

    PositionedVertex<String>
    

    for the 2nd interface type, but not for the 1st one.

    The interface isn't extending itself. The <V extends PositionedVertex<V>> is a bound on the generic type that is associated with your interface. It just means that the generic type parameter for any class that implements this interface must itself be a PositionedVertex.

    There is no telling why without showing some more code. Or is this all? What it is actually telling you is that there is some type V used somewhere in this interface (as a parameter to a function, or as a return type) that is of the same type as the interface itself.

    It is not extending itself. It is specifying that its generic parameter V must represent a type that extends or implements itself.

    This is extension for generic. More info about generics: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/extra/generics/intro.html
