scala> case class UserSession(userEvents: CircularFifoQueue<UserEvent>)
<console>:1: error: identifier expected but ')' found.
case class UserSession(userEvents: CircularFifoQueue<UserEvent>)
^
scala> case class UserSession(userEvents: CircularFifoQueue<int>)
<console>:1: error: identifier expected but ')' found.
case class UserSession(userEvents: CircularFifoQueue<int>)
use [] for generics in scala not diamonds (<>) which is java thing.
so should be case class UserSession(userEvents: CircularFifoQueue[UserEvent])
simple generics example,
scala> class Bag[T]
defined trait Bag
scala> case class Apple()
defined class Apple
scala> new Bag[Apple]()
res4: Bag[Apple] = Bag@1ef93e01
