Hi, I am writing the following program in Java SE 7. It throwing "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static type String" . However if I write parameterised String inside main method as  java.lang.String[] args, it compiles fine.

class MainClass<String> {

  <T> MainClass(T t) {

   System.out.println(t.getClass().getName());

  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {

  System.out.println("asdasd");

   new MainClass<>("");

  }

}

I mean following programs compile fine in Java SE 7 :

class MainClass<String> {

  <T> MainClass(T t) {

   System.out.println(t.getClass().getName());

  }

  public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {

  System.out.println("asdasd");

   new MainClass<>("");

  }

}

Help me...
