What's wrong with: LinkedList<String> stringList = new LinkedList<String>();
<p>When I try:</p>

<pre><code>LinkedList&lt;String&gt; stringList = new LinkedList&lt;String&gt;();
</code></pre>

<p>I get the following compilation error:</p>

<pre><code>type LinkedList does not take parameters
</code></pre>

<p>What am I missing?  Can't you do this?</p>
