OK, I'll keep my code 1.5 compliant pending further discussion of a move
to 1.6.

Patricia,
We agreed earlier that 1.5 is OK, I believe, so generics are OK. I
humbly request that we do not yet move to requiring 1.6 (@Override on
interface implementations is the one that always bites me). Maybe in
2011?

Subject: Getting Started
1. Can River source code use all JDK 1.6 features? In particular, what
should I do about generics? No generics, generics only in appropriate
private data structures, or use generics wherever appropriate, including
interfaces between modules?
2. How do people do revision control for work-in-progress? I like to
check in early and often, so that I have a good change log and can do a
lot of experiments, especially when performance tuning.
3. My preferred environment is a combination of Eclipse and Cygwin. Have
others used that combination? If so, can I have a copy of the Eclipse
editor set-up to get the right format, and also any Cygwin set-up?
Thanks,
Patricia
