Given this flexibility, you might expect it to be straightforward to use. However, type inference issues can surface, especially when working with primitive types, arrays of different element types, or collections of generic types.

Example Problem
Consider the following code snippet:

Here, you might encounter the dreaded error about incompatible types.

Common Solutions

Use Wrapper Classes
Java doesn't support generics for primitive types, so using wrapper classes can help resolve the issue. Instead of using int, use Integer:

Specifying the Type Explicitly
Explicitly specifying the type argument can help the compiler understand your intention better:

Conclusion

Remember, Java's type system is robust, but it sometimes requires a bit of coaxing to work smoothly with generics and collections. Happy coding!
