http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39538 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-05-10 14:09 ------- You should definitely branch out. Support for non-parametric classes must be maintained for a long time to come. I suggest starting the newer branch as commons.collections v5 to copy the Java 1.5 (also called Java 5 by some). Taking the plunge is the best way to go. I did and was suprised to how quickly things go. The team should agree on a few basic principle which are also outlined in a PDF document distributed by Sun on their website (named generics- tutorial.pdf). I suggest starting with the abstract classes. Have a review between developers to catch oversights. Then go on to modify 2 or 3 containers and format testing (JUnit). The tests should be straightforward. It's a matter of testing derived type compatibility. Once the first 2 or 3 containers done and tested, the rest will go very quickly. This project can be done in less than 1 month confortably. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
