I use them a /lot/. While having to pass Class<T> in classes where I shouldn't have to so as to do new T(), etc, comes up sometimes and is painful, it does not come up often and isn't /that/ painful either. Not being able to pass generics to the existing mountains of non-generic aware code -- /that /would be excruciating for my work. I'd probably still be unable to make any practical use of generics without erasure doing its thing. -- Jess Holle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
