> In MIFOS-4435 I've found a subtle bug, typical for the times from before when 
> we had type safe generics in Java.
> MIFOS-4435 has a patch for that specific issue.  This issue generalizes the 
> problem, and suggests that it may be worthwhile to invest some Mifos dev time 
> to fully adopt Java Generics in all of Mifos code, AKA remove all the "... is 
> a raw type. References to generic type ... should be parameterized" warnings 
> seen in Eclipse today.
> This will lead to better type safety and avoid bugs in the future, and may 
> identify other bugs à la MIFOS-4435 in the existing code base.
> Note that such bugs typically do not lead to unnoticed subtle functional 
> issues at runtime, but type case exceptions at runtime.  The value of doing 
> this work would be in identifying such bugs at compile time.
