Use class instance as generic type

Question

Is there any way of using SomeClass.class as the generic type for a type?

For example I have an enum:

enum MyEnum {
    FOO(String.class);
    private Class fooClass;
    private MyEnum(Class fooClass) {
        this.fooClass = fooClass;
    }
    public Class getFooClass(){
        return fooClass;
    }
}

And then somewhere in my code:

List<MyEnum.FOO.getFooClass()> list = new ArrayList<>();

Answer 1

No. Generics are evaluated at compile time while the value of this call:

MyEnum.FOO.getFooClass()

is only known at runtime.
