java reverse 怎么实现_Java：关于Collections ReverseComparator的实现

这实现如下(jdk1.6.0_31)：

private static class ReverseComparator

implements Comparator>, Serializable {

// use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.2.2 for interoperability

private static final long serialVersionUID = 7207038068494060240L;

public int compare(Comparable c1, Comparable c2) {

return c2.compareTo(c1);

}

private Object readResolve() { return reverseOrder(); }

}

为什么不能实现如下：

private static class ReverseComparator>

implements Comparator, Serializable {

// use serialVersionUID from JDK 1.2.2 for interoperability

private static final long serialVersionUID = 7207038068494060240L;

public int compare(T c1, T c2){

return c2.compareTo(c1);

}

...

}

它只是风格,还是有更深层次的原因？
