Re: abstract generic class?

Hi,

Is it possible to do something
like the following. If so how?

Any help will be appreciated.

When I try to compile
java version 1.5.0.06
I get the errors:

The type Format<Integer> must implement the
inherited abstract method Format.set(Object)

Name clash: The method set(Integer) of type Format<Integer>
has the same erasure as set(T) of type Format<T>
but does not override it

The method set(Integer) of type Format<Integer>
must override a superclass method

public abstract class Format<T>{
  public Format(){}
  private T data;
  public abstract T get();
  public abstract void set(T t);
  public T doubleData(){
    return data;
  }
}

public class Format<Integer> extends Format{

  public Format(){}

  private Integer data;

  public Integer get(){
    return data;
  }

  public void set(Integer data){
    this.data = data;
  }
}
