how to create a generic constructor for a generic class in java?

I want to create a KeyValue class but in generic manner and this is what I've written:

public class KeyValue<T,E> 
{

	private T key;
	private E value;
	/**
	 * @return the key
	 */
	public T getKey() {
		return key;
	}
	/**
	 * @param key the key to set
	 */
	public void setKey(T key) {
		this.key = key;
	}
	/**
	 * @return the value
	 */
	public E getValue() {
		return value;
	}
	/**
	 * @param value the value to set
	 */
	public void setValue(E value) {
		this.value = value;
	}
	
	public KeyValue <T, E>(T k , E v) // I get compile error here
	{
		setKey(k);
		setValue(v);
	}
}

the error says : "Syntax error on token ">", Identifier expected after this token"

how should I create a generic constructor in java then?

You need to remove <T, E> from the constructor's signature: it's already there implicitly.

public KeyValue(T k , E v) // No compile errors here :)
{
    setKey(k);
    setValue(v);
}

Write constructor exactly the same way you wrote other methods

public KeyValue(T k , E v) 
    {
        setKey(k);
        setValue(v);
    }

the constructor can be written as

public<T,E> KeyValue(T k,E v){}

but its not necessary also we can writepublic KeyValue(T k,E v)
