toString() a generic type in Java

How can I print the type of a generic java type?

Reflection? Any tricks?

public class Foo<K> {

    private K element;

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Type: " + K;
    }
}

element.getClass().getSimpleName() will probably do what you are expecting.
