making a generic class java code example

Example 1: java define a generic class that produces

List list = new ArrayList();
list.add("abc");
list.add(new Integer(5)); //OK

for(Object obj : list){
	//type casting leading to ClassCastException at runtime
    String str=(String) obj; 
}

Example 2: java define a generic class that produces

List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<String>(); // java 7 ? List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<>(); 
list1.add("abc");
//list1.add(new Integer(5)); //compiler error

for(String str : list1){
     //no type casting needed, avoids ClassCastException
}
