I'm coming from the world of c#.
in C# i am able to use the class dynamic http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd264741.aspx
This allows me to not have to use templated/generic classes but achieve a simliar feel for certian situations.
I'm have been unsuccessfull in internet searchs as unfortunately 'dynamic' and 'java' keywords turn up alot of unrelated infromation on dynamic architectures.
I have dabbled a bit in javaFX and there is a type var which appears to have the same usage as c#'s dynamic. However it doesnt appear to be usable in Java.
thanks, stephanie
