What does a tilde in angle brackets mean when creating a Java generic class?

I was reading through some JMockit examples and found this code:

final List<OrderItem> actualItems = new ArrayList<~>();

What does the tilde in the generic identifier mean? I know it's the unary bitwise NOT operator, but I don't see an operand here.

Also, I tried compiling it and got an error. Am I just missing something?


回答1:


It is just a shorthand for "same as in declaration".

Some IDEs, e.g. IntelliJ use this too.

The files on disk do not have this notation, which is only a compaction in the IDE GUI.




回答2:


If there wasn't a tilde, I'd say, the code was already Java 7. Java 7 allows the diamond operator so this is/will be legal Java code:

Map<String, List<String>> map = new HashMap<>();

(but - no tilde with this syntax)




回答3:


In IntelliJ IDEA, the ~ here:

Set<String> associations = new LinkedHashSet<~>();

means String, which is the same as in the declaration on the left side.




回答4:


I think that is shorthand to mean whatever the type is, in this case OrderItem.
