public class Main {
  public static <T> Set<T> difference(Set<T> setA, Set<T> setB) {
    Set<T> tmp = new TreeSet<T>(setA);
    tmp.removeAll(setB);
    return tmp;
  }
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Set<Character> set1 = new TreeSet<Character>();
    Set<Character> set2 = new TreeSet<Character>();

    set1.add('A');
    set1.add('B');
    set1.add('C');
    set1.add('D');

    set2.add('C');
    set2.add('D');
    set2.add('E');
    set2.add('F');

    System.out.println("set1: " + set1);
    System.out.println("set2: " + set2);

    System.out.println("difference: " + difference(set1,set2));
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
