I'm trying to define and then implement an abstract setter which takes a List of Objects as a parameter. Here's the gist of this simple idea:
public abstract class MyClass {
public abstract void setThings(List> things);
}
public class Bar extends MyClass {
private List things;
@Override
public void setThings(List things) {
this.things = things;
}
}
That doesn't work. I get Method does not override method from its superclass and both methods have the same erasure, but neither overrides the other. I understand the latter error relating to erasures, but even so I can't figure out the correct way to do this. I've tried some others like:
public abstract void setThings(List things);
...as well as a few others. And I've found other questions/answers on SO that come close to addressing this, but none that have provided a solid answer (at least not that was clear to me). I've read through the tutorials as well to no avail. What am I missing?
