             Summary: Generic parameter inconsistency on the Predicates 
INSTANCE fields
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-502
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-502
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Functor
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
            Priority: Trivial


In {{FalsePredicate}} the {{INSTANCE}} singleton is defined as 
{{Predicate<Object>}}. In other predicates such as {{TruePredicate}} it's
defined as {{Predicate<?>}}. In both cases this prevents the declaration of:

{code}
Predicate<Foo> predicate = FalsePredicate.INSTANCE;
{code}

This will fail to compile.

I suggest declaring the INSTANCE fields as an ungenerified {{Predicate}}, such 
that the above example compiles with an unchecked warning.
