java泛型范围,Java泛型问题：类型参数E不在其范围内

i've got a question about generics. I have this method which does not compile at all. The compiler tells me: type parameter E is not within its bound. I've usually no problem in understanding compiler errors, but this one is quite tricky. Maybe my knowledge about generics need to improve. :-) Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

public static > Map map(Class enumClass) {

Map mapping = new HashMap();

EnumSet set = EnumSet.allOf(enumClass);

for(E enumConstant : set) {

mapping.put(enumConstant.getStringValue(), enumConstant);

}

return mapping;

}

This is the definition of StringConvertableEnum:

public interface StringConvertableEnum {

public E getEnumFromStringValue(String string);

public String getStringValue();

}

解决方案

You need to change your declaration to E extends Enum

Edit, sorry had to step away, the full declaration I mean is:

public static & StringConvertableEnum> Map map(Class enumClass) {
