Can anyone point the difference between the List and List<Object> in Java.
Also how does java differentiate the old collections and new Generic supported classes ?
How does it make it backward compatible?

Sayem :Can you explain how the JVM gets to know that a particular code has old raw collections or generic supported collections. – Setu Poddar Jul 23 '13 at 10:27

The same way it detects a type parameter, by parsing the type declaration, I guess. – MD Sayem Ahmed Jul 23 '13 at 10:37
