Henri Yandell commented on COLLECTIONS-110:
-------------------------------------------
In the absence of anyone being active on a rewrite of Collections for generics,
I agree with James that you should look elsewhere for an active project.
I'm happy to help out with Collections 3.x bugs, and have done a fair bit
towards 3.3, but I've neither the time to release 3.3 nor inclination to drive
a redesigned 4.0.
This is someday going to drive me to want to add some of the core most basic
pieces of Collections to Lang :) I suspect that might be after a look at
google-collections to make sure it's not something they have. Parts of
ComparatorUtils, CollectionUtils, MapUtils and SetUtils.
> Support parametized classes with commons.collections.

> It's time to create a parallel version of commons.collections to support
> parametized classes of each container class and abstract class. It's not
> that
> hard. There is a 23 PDF document on Sun Java website describing in detail
> how
> it should be done and what to watch out for.
> I already converted a few classes from commons.collection privately for my
> own
> needs. Once you get the hang of it, it's a rather quick process.
> I am even willing to volunteer my time to do some more but I need the
> collaboration of some of the original programmers to watch over things.
