I've always thought of adding generics as an api change. Sure, it's one that doesn't break backward compatibility, but it's a change non the less. I'll not argue the point however as it is largely academic. I asked a clarifying question and you where nice enough to answer. I just hadn't heard much about generics lately and wanted to be really sure that I was doing the right thing by waiting for them. > the old code will still compile fine with the new generified api Yes. This I know. You'll get compiler warnings, but those can be turned off. Thanks for the clarification. I'll continue to hope for a quick beta program for 1.3. I'm always the optimist. > johan > > > > On 10/22/07, Philip A.
