Is the T class in generic Class<T> assignable from another class?

Question

Edit Since there were many downvotes and people who didn't understand what I'm asking for, I'll rephrase:

How do I find out at runtime what is the class that foo was generified from?

public boolean doesClassImplementList(Class<?> genericClass)
{
  // help me fill this in
  // this method should return true if genericClass implements List
  // I can't do this because it doesn't compile:
  return genericClass instanceof List;
}

Answer 1

Class.isAssignableFrom
