What kind of object instantiation is this?

Hi!

I'm new to Java and I was reading up about SwingWorker when I came across this code.

Code :

---

SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker<ImageIcon[], Void>() {
    @Override
    public ImageIcon[] doInBackground() {
        final ImageIcon[] innerImgs = new ImageIcon[nimgs];
        for (int i = 0; i < nimgs; i++) {
            innerImgs[i] = loadImage(i+1);
        }
        return innerImgs;
    }

What is this new <> stuff? Please tell me what it's called so I can learn about it. Or give me a link to an online tutorial.

That's Generics.
Go to this site: The Really Big Index
and do a Find for Generics

I found this tutorial on Generics.
Thanks Norm.
