use of <> brackets

[dqlevitt]

I am not new to java but have not done much coding in about a year. I am now seeing <> brackets used in a way that is unfamiliar. For example:
public class WebdavTreeModelControllerImpl extends
DefaultWebdavTreeModelController<FileStoreInstance , ModifiableFileStoreInstance>

and

public WebdavTreeModelControllerImpl(final URI uri, final Map<String, String[]> params, final Context context) {

Can someone please explain that use?

Thanks.

ArrayList<String> alist = new ArratList<String>();
means that arraylist with name alist can have only String values.
alist.add(1)--> not allowed

Yeah, read Generics --java 1.5 on-->
