[Using Reflection Video] unchecked and rawtypes warnings

This isn't a question so much as a heads up if you're following along in workspaces and using the same workspace image that you started with.

If you get compiler warnings about raw types and not checking types in your methods, you'll want to pay special attention to the process() method included in the workspace or downloads:

public static boolean process(Class clazz) {
  //do stuff
}

While you can use your newfound knowledge to use @SuppressWarnings annotation to compile the project anyway, it may help to compare it to what's in the video on line 14 or so, which is subtly different but totally helpful. :)

public static boolean process(Class<?> clazz) {
   //do stuff
}
