I am not sure that there is a good solution.

:-(

Some experimentation ended up with this:

import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

public class GenFun {
	public static interface MyInterface<T> {
		public T giveMe();
	}
	public static class MyClass<T> implements MyInterface<T> {
		public T giveMe() {
			return null; // not easy to create a T but that is another problem
		}
	}
	public static class MyFactory<T>
	{
	     private final Constructor<? extends MyClass<T>> ctor;
	     public MyFactory(Class<? extends MyClass<T>> clz) throws 
NoSuchMethodException, SecurityException
	     {
	            ctor = clz.getConstructor();
	     }
	     public MyInterface<T> create() throws InstantiationException, 
IllegalAccessException, IllegalArgumentException, 
InvocationTargetException {
	    	 return ctor.newInstance(new Object[0]);
	     }
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) throws NoSuchMethodException, 
SecurityException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, 
IllegalArgumentException, InvocationTargetException {
		@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
		MyFactory<String> mf = new MyFactory<String>((Class<? extends 
MyClass<String>>) MyClass.class);
		MyInterface<String> mi = mf.create();
		String s = mi.giveMe();
		System.out.println(s == null);
	}
}
