No, it doesn't. It's just that the thing is named "object" instead of
"void*". Furthermore, you are forced to use it, if you want to create
generic container classes. In C++, you can easily avoid void* in most
if not all cases and still have static type checking.
(No flame war please. IMO Java has its strengths in other fields.)
