Creating an Array of Generic Objects in Java [duplicate]

I am trying to create an array of a specific Data Type, however I am getting a Type Safety error I cannot understand/solve.

The data type

private static class Component<F> {

    private int index;
    private F value;

    public Component(int index, F value) {
        this.index = index;
        this.value = value;
    }

And the code where I try to initialize the array

private Component<F>[] table;

// Constructor
public SparseVector(int n, F f) {
    table = new Component[n];       
}

However I get the said type safety error, and upon running the program inspecting the variables in debugging I get the message "Type has not been loaded occurred while retrieving component type of array."
