When developing Java applications, it is easy to get used to invoking logging on the provided logger via its log level-specific methods.

Take your coding to the next level by learning advanced programming with generics. Here's how to use generic methods with type inference, type parameters, and wildcards in your Java programs.

Calming fears that type inferences might be problematic, Goetz reminded JavaOne attendees that Java 5 had the generic method invocation, which did type inference; Java 7 had the generic constructor ...
