JavaFX using syntax <>.

Question

Iam new to Java GUI; the usage of "<>" is new to me. Can someone explain from the code below as used in the EventHandler? Also, is there a way to avoid using it?

btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Hello World");
        }

That's the syntax used in generics types (parametric polymorphism), http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/types.html — Jack, Dec 25 '14 at 20:09

You can avoid it by using lambdas or method references with Java8
