Demerits of Java Generics

Dear friends,

Pleas let me know what are all the merits and demerits of java generics.

Thanks in advance.

Is Google broken?

Short answer: generics add type safety and extensibility to a class - most commonly seen when used with collections.

Long answer: read up on it - Java generics.

Demerits: Type Erasure -- Another thing that would be worth Googling (or Wiki-ing). Much luck!
