Re: ArrayList
Yes, you can create an array list of type Object
Re: ArrayList
ArrayList<Object> objects = new ArrayList<Object>();

Re: ArrayList
This sounds like a bad idea. What purpose would you have for a List that contains Chair, Spoon, Dog etc? On the other hand if the goal was to have a List of randomly generated Fiat, Ford, Audi, BMW etc objects then perhaps those classes should all extend a super class and you make the type of your List that super class:
;ArrayList<CarMake> cars = new ArrayList<CarMake>();
Improving the world one idiot at a time!
