Hi James! the email was posted twice because looks like you posted to old jakarta address :P
The main reason because these interfaces are there, is that when I started resurrecting it I just opened my Graph book, I started defining element according to definitions :P Some already implemented algorithms require specific informations about edges - specifically WeightedEdges - so while for Vertex a complete generalization can still be applied, Edge requires some assumptions at a certain point. Claudio is aware also about algorithms where weights are associated to Vertex - he's preparing his PhD research on graphes - maybe he can show us a more long-vision roadmap and evaluate benefits on simplifying the design. Do you have already a proposal how to modify the actual design?
