Bruce Eckel sounds pretty disappointed about generics in Java.

he says ythat, given the way generics were introduced,
one just gets a shorthand
for casting objects, rather than anything as powerful at templates
in C++ (not that I really know what Templates are all about...)
I think, he got disappointed because he had quite different expectations.
Generics are polymorphic types but not macros. I'd call C++-templates macros (do not confuse real macros with #define statements; think Lisp or M4). For a really interesting macro system for Java check out JSE (Java Syntax Extender) which is the macro system of Dylan ported to Java.
