Flame Bait? the original post included statements such as "benefits to the developer productivity ARE immence" and "It is the feature you cannot wait to use. The more you wait, the more time you waste." with no support.
That aside, I hardly think that asking the developers of a Java IDE to support a feature that is not (currently) a part of Java to be a great use of their time. Might as well ask them to support C# style properties. They're nifty too. That aside ( wow, lots of things to the side today ) - a monkey must have gotten free from the QA department and sent that email from my account... bad monkey... b -----Original Message----- From: Jim Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 4:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Eap-features] Generics support +1, for the reasons Roman identified.

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.
