+1, for the reasons Roman identified. Please don't post simply to act as flame bait. Whereas Roman's post contained a lot of information directly relating to the request, the response to his post was merely flippant, dismissing it without even pretending to give a reason why.

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.
