How can I create a Class that represents a generic object?
List<String> list = new List<String>();
Class c1 = list.class;
Class c2 = Class.forName(???); // <- how?
assert c1 == c2;

A Generic class simply means that the items or functions in that class can be generalized with the parameter(example T) to specify that we can add any type as a parameter in place of T like Integer, Character, String, Double or any other user-defined type.
A generic class can be a base class to other generic or non-generic classes or abstract classes. A generic class can be derived from other generic or non-generic interfaces, classes, or abstract classes.
A Generic Version of the Box Class The type parameter section, delimited by angle brackets (<>), follows the class name. It specifies the type parameters (also called type variables) T1, T2, ..., and Tn.
A class object is not specific to the particular class that is satisfying its type parameter:
assert (new ArrayList<String>()).getClass() == (new ArrayList<Integer>()).getClass();
It's the exact same object regardless of how it's typed.
