Rami Ojares commented on MNG-5979:
----------------------------------
Ok now I think I understood.
The maven-project's versions is the same as the version of maven-core whence it
comes from.
I just could not understand that the newest version is so old.
What could be the reason that 3.0-alpha-2 is the newest release?
> Maven distribution is not compiled with generics
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5979
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5979
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.3.9
> Environment: linux, java 8
> Reporter: Rami Ojares
> Assignee: Karl Heinz Marbaise
>
> Reading maven javadoc api it contains generic types.
> But when in my Mojo I try to use them the collections seem not to know
> anything about generics.
> Example:
> project.getPluginArtifacts() returns List not List<Artifacts>
> I can still cast the Objects from the list to Artifact type.
> But
> List<Artifact> al = project.getPluginArtifacts();
> will produce an error.
> I simply downladed compiled version of maven 3.3.9 from maven's own site.
