Set<?> (The method add(capture-of ?) in the type Set<capture-of ?> ...)

843793Jan 31 2006 — edited Feb 1 2006

I have a static method wich accepts a generic Set<?> someSet

public static void testSetGeneric(Set<?> someSet){
    	someSet.add("something");
    	
 }

I get a compilation error:
The method add(capture-of ?) in the type Set<capture-of ?> is not applicable for the arguments
(String)

what do I do wrong?
