Thomas Neidhart commented on COLLECTIONS-485:
---------------------------------------------
Applied patch in r1533984 together with other modifications:
* suppress generics warnings
* add wildcards to all copy-constructors of collection classes
Still need to review packages comparators, functors and keyvalue.
> Collection copy-constructors should accept wildcarded input

> Components: Bag, BidiMap, Collection, List, Map, Set
> Affects Versions: 4.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Hollis Waite
> Attachments: wildcards.patch

> Many Collection constructors copy input in order to self-populate. For
> convenience (and consistency with standard Java collections library),
> wildcarded parameters should be accepted where possible. Unmodifiable*
> classes might also benefit from less restrictive generic signatures.
