I've been inspecting the code and I've seen that the use of Java

Yes - very true. This is because some parts of Jalview were kept at java
1.1 compatibility up until 2011. There are also a few other reasons,
including performance hits and synchronization issues when using
generics which meant I've been gradually introducing their use into
Jalview as I refactor and add new features.
I think that generics makes code easier to read and understand and
this is good for development process.
I agree, but this kind of sweeping change should be done at the
beginning of development for a new release, rather than near the end of
a period of development (which we are currently at), so I'd rather not
have every part of the codebase modified before version 2.8.1 is published !
If you can postpone working on this till early 2014, I'd much appreciate it!
Jim.
