I'm a bit rusty too, but I know <T> represents a data type. There are certain times when you can have an object that takes multiple data types. A Vector is a good example. If you specify the data type <T> it just forces it to take that data type. I think this speeds up processing just slightly because the JVM doesn't have to figure it out.
