The Class<W> parameter is only needed if you intend to do "new W();" or the like in the method (the Class is then something the compiler can grab hold of for calling the constructor). For just passing the type parameter to other generic classes it is not needed. The compiler sees the context (i.e. the left-hand side of an assignment) and if it cannot determine the type it will say "needs a cast" as a warning, but the code will compile since it's all Object anyway. - Tor Iver
