<K extends Comparable> when casting to Comparable, warning

843793Sep 21 2008 — edited Sep 21 2008

Hi, I'm getting a warning "Java uses unsafe or unchecked operations." when I cast a generic type K to a Comparable.

I've used generics <K extends Comparable<K>> in my class definition and my method takes a parameter of type K.
I then have this line:

 if(((Comparable)key).compareTo(root.getKey())==0)

My question is: why do I get this warning? Is it just because the K object really gets passed in as an Object object? and is there any way to get rid of this warning?
