Why wait? It is THE feature many people are waiting for (it is THE
most voted feature in the Java feature request list).

Moreover, the generics-supporting compilers for both JRE 1.3 and JRE
1.4 are available (on JSR-14 pages). The only reason I'm not using it
- there's no IDE with generics support. Why not make IDEA to be THE
one? Is this so hard?

And benefits to the developer productivity ARE immence. It is not the
silver bullet, of course, but it really improves code clarity, makes
it more self-documenting and concise. It is the feature you cannot
wait to use. The more you wait, the more time you waste.

Sincerely,
