Stephen Kestle commented on COLLECTIONS-110: -------------------------------------------- Information: commons.sf.net is active. Since I couldn't get in touch with any one, I attempted a project takeover. They are trying to get to API compatibility with 3.2 ( http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1502771&forum_id=468212 - interestingly, they want to become a jakarta sandbox project...) They have just moved to subversion on the 12th - I was having problems getting access to cvs. I will at least be cleaning up the getInstance() methods (generically), and CollectionUtils so that the type parameters are wider. Improvements: There are a few issues I have with the apache project listed here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1513198&forum_id=468212 Also, I wanted the 1.5 version to change Closure, but they said we should follow Apache - see http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1513193&forum_id=468212 and http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-commons-dev/200606.mbox/browser Conclusions: Can we improve upon the sf project with the aim to import rather than restarting? An upgrade to generics should also re-address concepts and unity of the whole package. I think it should be a "new" project strong consideration for the current version. These discussions should happen on a wiki or a forum. I shall go link this thread to the sf project ( http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3781644 ) > [collections] Support parametized classes with commons.collections. > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COLLECTIONS-110 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-110 > Project: Commons Collections > Type: Bug > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Colbert Philippe > > It's time to create a parallel version of commons.collections to support > parametized classes of each container class and abstract class.
