The error is on the line with "T[arr] = {1,3,4,5,2}"

Eclispe complains that there is a:

"Type mismatch: cannot convert from int to T"

I've tried to casting nearly everywhere but to no avail.A simple way out would be to not use generics but instead just ints but that's sadly not an option. I've got to find a way to resolve the array of ints "{1,3,4,5,2}" into an array of T so that the rest of my code will work smoothly.
