Suppressed Warnings

[Will]

I found it useful to create a queue data structure that stores a fixed
number of elements and automatically removes the oldest element when
you try to add a new element. I'm just using a basic array to store
the elements.

However, apparently in Java you can't create an array of generics, so
trying the code
T[] elements = new T[maxSize];
gives an error.

I can get around this by doing T[] elements = (T[]) new
Object[maxSize];

However, I then get a warning from Eclipse about unchecked casting. Is
it ok to just ignore this error and add a
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

at the top of the class definition, or is this a bad idea?

You could suppress the warnings, but it would be better to use an ArrayList.
