A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The Vector documentation fails to mention that a data type is expected. Example: Vector<Object>=new Vector<Object>();

If I use this code:
import java.util.*;

class Test{
public static void main(String[]args){
Vector v=new Vector();
v.add("String");
}
}

Upon compilation, I get the following note:
Note: Test.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

When I recompile with -Xlint:unchecked, I get the following warning:

Test.java:6: warning: [unchecked] unchecked call to
add(E) as a member of the raw type java.util.Vector
        v.add("String");
^
1 warning

If I change Test.java to read:
import java.util.*;

class Test{
public static void main(String[]args){
Vector<String> v=new Vector<String>();
v.add("String");
}
}

I think a specific note that the <E> in the Vector documentation refers to a data type, and an example
of how to use it, along with a note that a warning will appear when you attempt to add to a Vector
that's not restricted to a data type, would be helpful.
