Classes in a list?

Hello.

Is is possible to have classes in a list? For example, I have a file class and a folder class and I want to display an instance of each item in the same list, how would I do it (if it is possible, that is)?

Thanks!

You could use an array of Objects:

class Folder {}

class File { }

class test {
    Folder folder = new Folder();
    File file = new File();
    Object[] both = {folder, file};
}
