meanwhile i tried your suggestions but i am struggling at getting the
right signature:
so i want a callback working of all kinds of collections and adding
the result to the given collection:

at the moment i got this:

        private class LoadMaps<T extends Collection> implements
AsyncCallback<T> {
                private T target;

                protected LoadMaps(T whereTo) {
                        target = whereTo;
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
                        Window.alert(caught.getMessage());

                }

                @Override
                public void onSuccess(T result) {
                        target.addAll(result);
                }
}

the only problem is now: i can't call the constructor:
Map<String, List<String>> myMap = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();
LoadMaps loadMaps = new LoadMaps(myMap);

-->"The constructor AdminUnits.LoadMaps(TaskDoneEvent,
Map<String,List<String>>) is undefined"

besides this i get "Type safety: The method addAll(Collection) belongs
to the raw type Collection. References to generic type Collection<E>
should be parameterized" in LoadMaps->onSuccess->target.addAll(result)

so how to fix this
